When I had the operation

There was no fear,

Just the knowledge of death, hovering near.

.

There was no particular anticipation

That I might die,

Merely the desire to get it done

Once and for all.

.

I did not fall

And the Reaper saluted me.

But I thought I heard him say,

“I will be back, one day

UPDATE: I spoke to the consultant this morning and he said that I might not require an additional aspiration, as the growth in my head was diminishing due to the antibiotics. Kevin.
