inside crowded hockey rink
yellow shirt
holding string tied to yellow balloon
many others like me
survivors
one step first step
more of a shuffle really
beside hospital bed
pushing IV pole
after surgery
survival
one step first step
chemo chair behind me
winter is almost done
and all that awaits is
the rest of my life
surviving
one step first step
towards Zamboni door
and we all step out into drizzle
one foot in front of the other
till we hear the count
one two three
and release our balloons
yellow orbs rising on the wind
hope
survives
