CANCER

What's your goal, astrological crab? How'd you escape your lofty view? What sorcerer summoned you, voracious crustacean, to grab and devour my mother, her sister, her mother and my brother? When first I heard of your arrival I tempted you with drink, tobacco, and might have proffered my soul, if possible, my destiny an survival had I but known the seeds you'd sown could be left ungrown! While waiting with apprehension for your cursed attack on me, wondering how brutal it'll be, I strive for comprehension -  and pray for others' sisters, brothers, fathers, mothers.
