ORIGIN Old English hāligdæg [holy day.]
a day without worry
knowing we have a home
family's health care needs paid
money for medication, to eat
the knife has been placed
in my flesh between
brittle bones of rib cage
it is turned and blood drips
the letter arrives in our mailbox
your health insurance is canceled
because he who lives with cancer
has been terminated from employment
the back of my skull throbs, beats
a thin skinned drum, drum
drummer boy strikes my brain
quickens the scarlet blood drip
blood rests in IV tubing
ceasing the flow to begin
healing cells, gaining strength
a day of festivity
have a relaxing holiday
tinsel twinkles like stars
on live green pine tree
decorated with red blood balls
