Today's feelings in poetry

Lucky 

So lucky, people say.

That they caught it when they did

That it hasn’t spread

That they got it all

That I have insurance

So, so lucky.

That my friend told me about her cancer

That I finally moved my arse and 

Went and had that mammogram

That I live in the lucky country

So lucky 

That my prognosis is good

That my job will be there for me 

That I am surrounded by family and friends

With their love, soup and casseroles.

Lucky. 

That my new set are perkier 

Smaller, Scar-rier, numb-ier.

A bit lopsided

Like me.  

Some days though,

I just feel 

A tiny bit

Unlucky.
