Another livejournal gem:
Social Stigma
Addicted to the cancer eating
away, smiles beside the dagger filled maw.
Stepping stones cover the sky, walking over and under,
twilight gathers all. A vagrant angel.
Swallow the sky, that feeling inside
Having walked the other side of life;
window open, letting life blow in,
frigid, terse, piercing as a strangers gaze.
