MONDAY: Thriller

BY CHRISTIAN WARD

Copyright is held by the author.

Like wintering wasps hidden 
in the attic, your cancer cells 
were quiet with their espionage.

Knee deep in isolation, they hurried 
to sabotage the mainframes
of your body. Fulfill the prophecy 

of anarchy like a Hollywood thriller.
You lied on the hospital bed
like a cinema goer content to breathe in 

melted butter wafting in the air, 
popcorn, some innocence left writhing 
on the cutting room floor.
