Breathe Out

Whether it’s good news or . . .
different news,
A doctor said, and you thought about that,
Different news. Easy euphemism,

But a heavy lift for difference here
Implying something more than opposite,
The doctor just didn’t want to say bad,

Since death would be the certain suggestion
In your situation. Death is never

Simple enough to be certain,
Just certain enough to be devious,
To have all the time in the world for tricks,
 
Which is why any news involving death
Always makes you want to hold your breath.
