Duelling Détente.
I go to hospital every six weeks for my chemo port flushes and every three months for CT scans and MRIs. A silent vigil and Détente endures as they watch my liver for the faintest glimmer of my cancer reassertion. Five years to go. How far have I come? It’s hard to say. I’ve been to Hell and back; now peering over the edge of the abyss, taking in the path I’ve traversed; taking stock, the way forward shrouded in fog. Waiting for a beacon, for inspiration, for the muse and finally ready.
