Writer's picture: Surviving Breast CancerSurviving Breast Cancer

By Sara Kandler



The jagged edge comes into view

as I approach

leaning backward as my feet pace forward

through sparse grass

need to see

how steep

how rough

how treacherous this bluff

dark red like raw meat

its crags like teeth

My chest clenches

stomach churns

blood burns


A sandy path loops around this cliff

and most sanguinely choose that route

though they know deep down it goes nowhere

they don’t probe

rely on false hopes

utter resignation


Is it alright then

to tackle this trial

head on

and who am I
