Illness
the desperation of aching skin
stiff joints, slow roast in the eye sockets,
ears, throat, one flu over
the cuckoo’s nest
chills and heat
chills and heat
goosebumps on my goosebumps
sleep, sleep, sleep
Catch Some Wide Eye

I am for an art that has the power to knock your socks off. I am for poetry that already has. Author, musician, educator, scatter brain. Proudly serving the global community since 1984.
Even in sickness…wit!

That opening line says it all. I hope that this is a creative exercise rather than a description of your current state of health.
