I know you've been watching that tape

I’m the message you
receive
when the
memory of me
slips away
I’m the reminder
cutting through
your
everyday life
an alarm you
cannot turn
off
I am planted
in your veins
discreetly but
firmly
a disease at
its own slow
pace
seeping into
your cells
irreversibly

this is potent...love the ending from, a disease that eats at its own slow pace....this is the essence of consumption...the inevitablity of it, the 'fate' intrinsic. beautiful :)

Yeah I know that feeling. Such a seeping discovery. You have a lot of sharp sensory in your poems. Perfect.
