today i told the doctor my treatment was holy
and after heaving over a trashcan in my plush
lazy-boy seat, feet up and swathed in my
grandmother's sage green blanket, wool
and soft and emanating the muted 
stateliness of her apartment i 
attempt to utter the word:
"rebirth," and the nurse
hears me and nods,
repeating,
rebirth.
