Stopped By Pain in the back Stilled By Mucus and head aches Silenced By Laryngitis and miscellaneous fears Stopped. Stilled. Silenced. Filtered sun through mid-day blinds Distilled thoughts of shallow mind Yield Little light or clarity Sheets damp with familiar musk Covers twisted into a personal husk Descent Into loathing and disdain Stopped. Stilled. Revealed. In sickness and in health The union within of lies to self Broken Stolen Dying…yielding

On Being Sick
Stopped By Pain in the back Stilled By Mucus and head aches Silenced By Laryngitis and miscellaneous fears Stopped. Stilled. Silenced. Filtered sun through mid-day blinds Distilled thoughts of shallow mind Yield Little light or clarity Sheets damp with familiar musk Covers twisted into a personal husk Descent Into loathing and disdain Stopped. Stilled. Revealed. In sickness and in health The union within of lies to self Broken Stolen Dying…yielding
Sometimes, my body refuses to continue the charade of ok-ness...of self sufficiency... and so slaps me flat to remember my self.
