Grow
By Nolcha Fox
Seedlings sprout
from stumps and
from charred trees.
Cancer cells
eat everything
in sight.
New life bursts
from old, we
cannot stop it.
Life is stubborn,
it will not be denied.
Nolcha has written all her life, starting with poop and crayons on the walls. Her poems have been published in Lothlorien Poetry Journal, The Red Lemon Review, Dark Entries, Duck Head Journal and others. Her chapbook, “My Father’s Ghost Hates Cats,” is available on Amazon.
