rebirth (1/17)

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.
