The cancer <br />devours <br /> <br />her dreams <br />her memories. <br /> <br />Her death <br />haunts her living hours. <br /> <br />Soon <br />the cancer <br /> <br />will eat its way <br />(hungry as a caterpillar) <br /> <br />to the exact <br />location of her soul. <br /> <br />She clasps <br />her fingers within my fingers <br /> <br />as if to comfort <br />my anguish <br /> <br />smiles <br />as if she will <br /> <br />live forever.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hungry-as-a-caterpillar/
