Blood of war (Abjection 5 of 8)

Blood to me as a diseased individual is a sign of war. The dried fynbos flowers embody my burr-shaped blood cells that have malformed due to the ill-functioning of my kidneys. Every time I test my blood glucose or go to test blood, it builds great anticipation and causes an internal war in your head. My body is at war, a true battlescape left with scars, damaged feelings and thoughts of hopelessness.
