Art of Caring
Cancer, Poet
Katy Bowser Hutson
Excerpt from Now I Lay Me Down to Fight by Katy Bowser Hutson
Taken from Chapter 2, "Chemotherapy"
Cancer is an overgrowth, a kudzu:
Tangling and strangling legitimate life.
Chemo is a killing, a burning out:
Burning down to ashy carbon, indiscriminately.
