The Uterus

For My Sister After Diagnosis of Cancer

By Monica BennettPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

This organ of mystery

for me will be history.

A story dampened

by continual crampin'.

It won't be missed,

it just makes me pissed

that I suffered for years

and shed all those tears!

Period viscosity

always with ferocity.

Changing moods

and too many foods.

I won't miss those,

but just to propose,

if you wanted to leave

did you have to deceive?

I want an answer

but not cancer!

Oh, organ of mystery,

It will be a valedictory

when I win this war,

I am gonna soar!!!
