Quintin  Collins

Autoimmune

​The doctor explains this disease
occurs when immune cells attack healthy tissues,
so internal wounds open. As your body
stages a coup, unravels, the doctor
explains treatments. You hear
white blood cells tear your organs, destroy
their home. Do they plot before they lay siege
or suddenly leave every post untended,
point weapons at their maker? That sermon
when the priest offered Hell
for suicide, they must have missed it.
