they easily took a piece of me

Sun­days:
Un­der­wear, sun, pop­si­cles and rosé,
cus­tom pet por­trait commission,
emails,
talk to mama for an hour,
re­search di­rect­ed en­er­gy weapons holy FUCK,
draw big­ger than is comfortable,
satisfaction,
fear of hav­ing for­got­ten how to paint,
dissatisfaction,
won­der about the fu­ture and bring­ing ba­bies into the world,
pret­ty hap­py about be­ing alive anyway.
 

I didn’t want to,
but last week I let these MF docs ex­cise a spot that wasn’t can­cer­ous but “could be one day.”

Pret­ty sure I got okey-doked by west­ern med­i­cine but I’ll let it go this time. 

Noth­ing any doc has been “con­cerned” about has ever turned out to be any­thing of note, knock on wood – I don’t think it’s just luck, but some­thing to do with the im­mune sys­tem I’ve been build­ing for 15 years. 

But there were zero ques­tions about that – gen­er­al health and lifestyle are “un­re­lat­ed.”

The pro­to­cols are to cut, cut, cut. That’s how women lose breasts, they scare you. I suc­cumbed, but I’m aware that I succumbed. 

I snipped my stitch­es out and I’m heal­ing this lit­tle suck­er by dos­ing thou­sands of grams of
MSM, Vit C, plus neem oil, fresh aloe, and

Kauai Far­ma­cy salves:
Com­frey, tul­si, gotu kola, noni leaf, and calendula. 

West­ern med­i­cine has its place … but
