come and keep your comrade warm
i had it bad for leon trotsky at 18 fancied myself
a revolutionary first year russian studies u of t
too young to understand my fascination with all
things russia yet i am as russian as a jew can be
today my favourite roofer returned and talked to me
about cancer +dowsing for holywater tears of the
vengeful skygod whose son died for your sins now
flooding in
my roofer is a dead ringer for leon trotsky man of my
dreams with a touch of jesus thrown in for good measure
today he shared stories of his parent’s deaths one in
august the other in december it’s been a hard winter for
so many of us corey stressed
yes i agreed whole heartedly well with the remnants of
my heart i pointed to the photo of my football bro who died
5 months ago then i was blithering he played for the argos
he moved to mexico he …
corey’s hair had turned white by the time we arrived up 5
flights no burning bush no fireandbrimstone just a tale of
his wife’s terminal cancer they can’t give her anymore chemo
or she can start to burn from the inside the witch trials of salem
came to mind
these burnings at the stake by the cancergods who are wily +
depraved this i did not say cancer camaraderie can be draining
i just watched corey go and tonight if i am really lucky i will return
to the arms of leon trotsky
