the lone and narrowing
the lone and narrowing but
now your left breast down to
fatal wreckage behind the blur
of cancer’s tomb you were
at risk because the other one hiv
has disowned diseased outcomes
deep-buried and banished to the
marrow’s snow whose frigid hands grab
us all seeing as the sun has burned
our infinities to the blackened
loneness watched from the fields
of skies opening and pouring death
