ooooh that smell
u faced it like
a soldier
u wanted it
brave and becrazed
with cancer
it bought u 18 mths
u wore the scar like
a beltofthorns
lower abdomen
with blackstitches
pipes
tubes
glue
a 16 yr old latina
died in the
next room
we marched along
hallways
me beside u
holding tubes
another brother
behind
pushing a chair
just incase
it wouldn’t have
been u to fall
but me
fainting dead away
what with the reek
smell that smell
no one lived as well
or as big
big bro
no matter what the score
u rode the bucking
fuckingcancerbronco
all the way to mexico
where a girl named diabla
tried to get u to support
a small town in bosnia
