[the Writing of Kuypers]
so she went to the doctors today
so I even asked after the fact:
and I couldn’t get an answer
all I know is than when she needs blood
so I wonder: is the cancer actually

Her Blood Is Evaporating
she had to go to the doctors today
they called me in the morning,
because they knew the doctors would take forever
to get blood
she apparently needed a few pints
she didn’t cut herself, she’s not bleeding
why does she need more blood?
I know the cancer’s made her weak now,
but it’s not like her blood is evaporating
she feels very tired, lethargic
and she has more energy with more blood
destroying her blood so she needs more?
and will she have to do this until she dies?
