Symbiosis

Symbiosis
I am Cystic.
You are Fibrosis.
We are cystic fibrosis.
The genes we share give us the same face,
the same body, the same cough,
the same hospital room.
The love grows stronger with every beat
on the chest, with every pierce of the heart.
As I hurt you and you hurt me, we fight
together to keep each other alive.

I. Stenzel
