Died November 20, 2006
Ok let’s cut right to the chase, my friend says.
I have lung cancer.
Right then, ants skitter across my skin in all directions.
We wait a a long time for me
to speak but the ants eat my words.
Finally some words escape, something
about God and disbelief.
But I’m not going for chemo and all that shit.
I’m going for alternatives.
Faith performs miracles, I say and mean it
because I have seen it bend reality.
After all, thoughts can raise and lower
body temperature and once
I saw a man walk on burning coals.
If anyone can do this, it is you Bill.
