Hello Barbara,
This is a very powerful piece. The simile of storms and rain seems very effective to me.
Best wishes, Mike

Chemo
it never hits with the flash and thunder of a storm
doesn't sweep away in a raging flood
maybe that's why I forget to run
why I allow such damage in the end
no, it's more like the gentle relentless rains
the steady flow that seeps and drowns
the worm
leaves it stretched across the sidewalk
for the birds to pluck away
I should be glad that it's working
I should be
but somehow when I pass a mirror
and see the swollen marked terrain
I want to cry
enough
