A CLOUDED STATE OF NUMBNESS

 In case you think me

Unnaturally

Matter-of-fact about

The pathology report of

Last Thursday’s biopsy

It’s my belief that

My defense system has

Numbed my

Emotional reactiveness until

My power of intuition

Believes my processor

Ready to absorb

Yesterday’s unwelcome

Information without

Drowning my spirit in

Abject devastation

So just as this

Clouded sense of

Numbness is not denial

Neither must

My current state of

Numbness be

Mistaken for courage

👩🏻Annie

Thank goodness

Ravi is

Coming to play

Today
