#allegations. What is wrong w/people? I tell a friend & a family member I have Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, metastasized to my liver. Inoperable. One says “can we set up a call for 11 May? The other is already grabbing for a family heirloom. What is wrong w/people?. #vss365

@SheriSachse Thank you so much, Sheri. I shouldn’t have posted when I was angry, but wtf! My friend literally said can we set up a phone call for 11 May, what is good for you? She has a Master’s, her husband a Ph.D in Psychology and was a professor. They’re not usually dumb.

The Art of Dying. I’m waiting for the earth.to open up.and eat me whole.all these bones.once sturdy enough.to walk the earth.and swim the sea.#clairvoyant tides,.knowing more than I,.come at last.to take me. #vss365.

so familiar.with the #vernacular of pain.even her dreams .are thick black sludge .animals of night.can smell her fear.she knows what it‘s like.to be turned inside out.and wrung .like a dirty wash rag.pulse pounding .sweat bleeding .thru angry pores.no rest.no rest. #vss365.

you’ve been riding.on the #boundless train.of life’s #adventure.highs, lows.aches, pains.some were friends.some were out to harm you.as you rode through . now the train is slowing,.a picture .fading into sepia.hanging in a tavern .where you once sat.singing the blues. #vss365.

#vss365 I am so touched by the outpouring of love & support #galvanize-d by my cancer diagnosis. Someone once said “don’t die with the music still in you.” Thanks to the lovely #WritingCommunity I will not. I love you all ❤️. I wrote this over a month before I knew I was ill:.

@KokopelliBFree TY, Steffi. It really hurts.The person who suggested the phone call on 11 May lives out of the country, so we skype rarely. She was the nicest, caring person I knew when she lived here. Maybe she made a mistake. But I told her I might not be able call in May ‘cause I may be dead.

I know it’s strange .to see the lines in the mirror .facing you.each crease.a reflection of struggled pain.but each day.a new beginning of age.each life.a new #adventure.baby cries.and it starts.all over again. #vss365 #FromOneLine.

Dad.you never spoke of the war.but I could see it .in your eyes.you never spoke the despair.but I could see it .in your eyes.saw a picture of your youth.& the pain wasn’t there.your life is over.& all that lived there.in your eyes.in your #wuthering eyes. #vss365 #MemorialDay

I don’t have the #constitution.for a world of war and hate.starving children’s eyes.climate crisis fate. children killed at schools.families at parade .shot at Halloween.for God’s sake. I have fallen .with this fallen world .fallen love .fallen, fallen.such a waste . #vss365.

death grows inside me.I am exquisitely afraid .ego is hanging on.w/an earthly grip.we are so enmeshed.I can’t let go of the fear.it’s like trying .to breathe underwater.thus begins the fight.the search for surrender.I remember once.how good it felt.to let go. #vss365 #exquisite.

I love my #connection w/animals. I love who I become when I am w/them. I love the strength of my need to care for them, how I put them before myself. When I‘m sad, they make me smile. The smile. You know the one that arises and sits at the center of your belly. That one. #vss365

I am the hand that feeds you.in untamed spaces .and uncertain times.I am the honey,.thick w/splendor,.that coats your tongue.with beautiful words,.communicating meaning.not written on pages.& committed to memory .by fingerprint touches.in your eidetic mind . #vss365 #communicate.

my throat chakra is closed.it is hard and protective.like a #chrysalis.and I have lost the strength .to fight my way out. it hurts too much .to speak my truth right now .I can’t be that vulnerable.I must stay inside a little longer.I hope you understand . #vss365.

death.this wasn’t the book she ordered.even tho’ she was more spiritual than #intellectual,.her mortal body was aquiver w/fear. calm words rolled in on a quiet wave of wisdom.ran thru her like warm comfort.”Do not be afraid. You are so much more than this.”. #vss365 #FromOneLine

I may seem.all sweetness and poetry.but backstage.my #backstory.is grumpiness on sleepless nights.I am the dark circles beneath your eyes.I am everything.from sunny beach .to erupting volcano .but I have this love to offer .take everything.or nothing,.your choice. #vss365

this pain I carry.is like a full grocery cart.but nothing nourishes me.no carrots, pineapple, broccoli.weight of rocks in backpack.full of #bittersweet writing .people pass by.but they are not from my world.no eye contact.they don’t want to catch my misery.so alone. #vss365.

@markcoddington And laugh. In high school I was the only person who laughed at my history teacher’s jokes. He signed my senior yearbook, “it’s music to my ears.”.

#Moonstruck.wide-eyed innocence.gathering stories.of light & glee.but too soon she stubbed her foot.on the rock of reality.she was ever after.beat, broken, lost.nowhere to go.no one to go home to.where does a cracked soul such as she.lay down her head for sleep. #vss365.

no one knows the bird that flys me.no one knows my heart was a stone.no one knows the fear I softly moan.but I do. I do. I wake today & collect my crayons.I walk today & color outside lines.I color until I weep out the death.in #remembrance of you.& bird flys flys flys. #vss365.
