"antihistamine" poems - Hello Poetry

This site does not permit the caesura divisions at all and I will not post the poem without them. You can find "Antihistamine Dreams with a Little Touch of Grendel in the Night" at my own not-very-well constructed site, https://reactionarydrivel.blogspot.com/2019/01/antihistamine-dreams-with-little-touch.html where the divisions are merely botched, not forbidden. (I think it's rather nice, shivery little poem, especially if read around a campfire at night) “A little touch of Grendel in the night” is a takeoff of “a little touch of Harry in the night” in Henry V.

Found you one night I was clearing out My parents' medicine cabinet Red drops protruded from your spout Like crimson petals of a thorny rose I saved you, of course Unlike the others you weren't expired Not yet -- none the worse For wear, and I put you on my bedside I had a feeling I'd need you Insomnia is a fickle fiend Nights are the worst Searching for a friend Because without one I was cursed To doom away the dusk until dawn And then you called, "You got a friend in me," And I answered And red drops flowed into my mouth Like the kisses of a fallen cherub This bottle was doomed to crack anyway.

I want to memorize the patterns of all of your t-shirts I want to sit next to you on an airplane You can have the window seat I want us to bob our heads in rhythm to strange music And waste our time together Antihistamine forever would be worth it in the end

I travel through your brain waves The static distorts your words Emotions blow like pollen Creating opposite reactions Years of being a recipient Finally I’m immune ‘‘Tis all fleeting you see Shallow and brief engagements What I seek was never outside Never inside another either ‘‘Twas always beyond you and I Somewhere deep and far

You are dust swimming through sunbeams in the morning, sunbeams that pass the slit of my bedroom curtain like spotlight. You are the main act. I wait for you to settle on the floor and blow me away. You blow me away and I breathe you in. I breathe you in despite the irritating possibilities. Despite you, you, making me heady you, making my eyes watery, red you, making my nose drip, my heart bleed. I breathe you in, still. You are a moment, the longest suspension of time before a long awaited sneeze. You are dust, love, sometimes we all are. You are that. And antihistamine. And much more, so much more.

Allergic rhinitis, love and so much more

You are dust swimming through sunbeams in the morning, sunbeams that pass the slit of my bedroom curtain like spotlight. You are the main act. I wait for you to settle on the floor and blow me away. You blow me away and I breathe you in. I breathe you in despite the irritating possibilities. Despite you, you, making me heady you, making my eyes watery, red you, making my nose drip, my heart bleed. I breathe you in, still. You are a moment, the longest suspension of time before a long awaited sneeze. You are dust, love, sometimes we all are. You are that. And antihistamine. And much more, so much more.

Had chicken wings tonight Took an antihistamine before the fight Drank coffee after nine I think, I’ll be awake until the sun shines What was I thinking? Maybe, it was the migraine throbbing Planned on eating ice cream Ended up buying an eye cream Got home, I started encoding Finished at midnight My eyes won’t shut tight Still listening to Lany His song is on repeat He sings, “ I miss you so bad” I say, “I want to sleep so bad”.

Sometimes, I can’t see clearly, Things are not what I think, I really cannot not help it….. After all…. I have to blink, Sometimes, I’m overwhelmed, It’s more than I can keep, You know, The plumbing's old, There’s bound to be some leaks Sometimes, I’m irritated, I remember what was said, Sometimes I just drip, It makes my eyes red, I wish it didn’t happen, I wish you weren’t so mean, I wish I had a wrench, Or an antihistamine © B L Costello 2016

WHAT’S THE MATTER?

Sometimes, I can’t see clearly, Things are not what I think, I really cannot not help it….. After all…. I have to blink, Sometimes, I’m overwhelmed, It’s more than I can keep, You know, The plumbing's old, There’s bound to be some leaks Sometimes, I’m irritated, I remember what was said, Sometimes I just drip, It makes my eyes red, I wish it didn’t happen, I wish you weren’t so mean, I wish I had a wrench, Or an antihistamine © B L Costello 2016
