Volume 4, 2004
Anniversary of the Diagnosis
Susan Sample
When the snow stops
and the vast sky
is ground into silence,
I have no where
to look
but here: inside
where the black metal casement
of the window
is a retractor holding open
the walls of my chest; pushing
aside my ribs
until I am forced to
see fear so raw
it still fails to bleed.
