Finally
My body and my psyche are in sync.
Sick
In pain and wasting away.

It's only a stomach upset
But it feels right,
Somehow.
Feeling 'well' felt incongruous,
Now, I feel as I should -
Sick, everywhere.

I wonder if recovery
Will stretch to a lifting of the spirit, too?
As I nurture my body with soup, sleep and rest,
Will the rest of me find sustenance, and come back
To wellness,
Can I drag my heartsick mind back to robust health?
Or is my body
Stronger than my soul?
