Poems
Dec 2014
illness
Rain endlessly tapping its fingers on the window in boredom.
The drops shooting light into my apartment from the streetlights.
Shivering, cold, I turn up the thermostat.
I now dress in sweats, hoping for relief from the cold.
Brain says you must eat, body says I must not.
I remain stasis, unwilling to move.
Now wrapped up in a blanket, the sofa my domain.
Wishing someone, anyone was here.
For the comfort of knowing humankind still existed.
Do you exist? Or are you fever induced?
Trembling, I fall asleep.
Hoping my answers come with the morning light.
Rest well my fellow poets, this too, shall pass.
