Terminal diagnosis,
      set in stone-

                      embroidered~

       with needled thread, 

           venemous letters laced
     before breakfast, after dinner
                    war raged.

Voice guillotined, Spirit gutted
         Shell hung~ dried

        Later rehydrated
            refurbished
              relished

              reborn~
