Subject: Reruns




In that early morning quiet
nothing moves, nothing exists
except the imagined sounds
of a horses’ hooves
and creak of an old wagon,
long gone from the Kansas plain.

I sit motionless, an attempt
to blend with the moment
and stare across the open sky.
My thoughts move past denial,
through all the treatments,
three weeks of chemotherapy,
seven weeks of radiation.

Now I wait, immerse myself
in quiet reflection.
The only question left, is it gone?
My heart wants to believe it is,
the answer is still months away.
I am left with reruns of wagon train.
