"A Conversation About Lupus," A Poetry Post

I got the results today.

What did the doctors say?

They say I have Lupus.

No. That is for me.
I'm going to bind that.

I'm sick honey.
Can you love someone with Lupus?

Why now?
I have loved you since I met you.

Hmm.

Don't you worry.
The Lupus is for me.
What concern does God have with Lupus?
We will bind it,
and you will live
and declare the
goodness of the Lord
in the
land of the living.

-T. D. James-Moss
