belt around a globe
cancer of a clock
whose arms rotate
incessantly

live in a beautiful place
clocks on mantle pieces
cancer of schedules
marr my creativity
I produce
speckled fruit

what of optimistic endings
when cancer eats itself
of skin and bone.
Whatever is between
someone else will live
re-enact seasonal rituals
of timely schedules
and dissolved worlds.

You live up to your name. There are many kinds of cancer...producing speckled fruit is brilliant.

Another excellent write Martin!
Even though I may not have time to respond to all of your work..
I do read all I can, and you are very very good.
