"colds" poems
My love is vast. My love is strong. My love is driven by the thought of you noticing me one day. Although I am told that some love never blooms like flowers struggling during the bitter colds. I have nothing to offer you. All I have are my bones. They hold me up on days I feel like a bird with broken wings, but I will always love you with the lights on. I will care for your wounds until you're able to fly again. Until you can reach the moon. So play your guitar and sing your songs. I will admire you from afar as you carry on. Don't worry about me. I'm not trying to come off as a creep but I love your eyes, and how they look like dark coffee. I love the way you speak. Each word a melody. Every sentence a song. I'm caught on your hook. I could listen all day long. I'm lost in your music while you're lost in this madness. So don't worry my dear, the flowers will someday bloom. I shall save these words for you. I'll read them out to you, but only once during the blue moon. You're a sweetheart and a really brave bird. So walk with me to the edge of the earth and I will share you all my secrets, and you will share me yours. We'll tie them both to balloons and let them go. Lay with me down on this pearly dew-drop grass. We'll watch the clouds travel to and fro, just stay with me in this perfect spot. You don't have to go.

You're A Sweetheart and A Really Brave Bird
Go hang yourself, you old M.D.! You shall not sneer at me. Pick up your hat and stethoscope, Go wash your mouth with laundry soap; I contemplate a joy exquisite I'm not paying you for your visit. I did not call you to be told My malady is a common cold. By pounding brow and swollen lip; By fever's hot and scaly grip; By those two red redundant eyes That weep like woeful April skies; By racking snuffle, snort, and sniff; By handkerchief after handkerchief; This cold you wave away as naught Is the damnedest cold man ever caught! Give ear, you scientific fossil! Here is the genuine Cold Colossal; The Cold of which researchers dream, The Perfect Cold, the Cold Supreme. This honored system humbly holds The Super-cold to end all colds; The Cold Crusading for Democracy; The Führer of the Streptococcracy. Bacilli swarm within my portals Such as were ne'er conceived by mortals, But bred by scientists wise and hoary In some Olympic laboratory; Bacteria as large as mice, With feet of fire and heads of ice Who never interrupt for slumber Their stamping elephantine rumba. A common cold, gadzooks, forsooth! Ah, yes. And Lincoln was jostled by Booth; Don Juan was a budding gallant, And Shakespeare's plays show signs of talent; The Arctic winter is fairly coolish, And your diagnosis is fairly foolish. Oh what a derision history holds For the man who belittled the Cold of Colds!

Common Cold
The men, mostly wrapped in grey, With knitted necks have nothing to say. But sway out of the way of the others, passing. Over there, on six, a man is checking No one is asking, but he’s still looking. His finger’s pointing. Beside me, a beautiful lady, is waiting Speaking softly to her lover: “Not long now” – she whispers’, lower. With late night morning upon our faces We wonder why, we are here at all Collecting colds, old age, and wages: Before middle, old, and then the fall. And then the sun appears: It lights the seats where no one sits I feel my heart beat miss a bit. I see myself years ago. Waiting for a train to go. To take our family away, for free For fish, chips, salt and sea. All of us all, sitting there: Our fathers 1950’s hair, Our sixties mother thin lipped stare, my sisters, bothers, and me, just sat there. Frozen cold, with tears sticking in my eyes. And for a moment I want back that time. To start again, at another me: No more trains - but more sea.

The smallest microbes cause a fit, in misery it dwells. It starts with sniffs and then a sneeze then sinus membranes swell. My head begins to throb and soon my eyes begin to water. I feel the clammy chills but soon I find I'm getting hotter. I cannot rest my head because I think that I might drown. You'd think they'd have a cure by now but colds are still around.

Finally it is done. For months I have been collecting ingredients for the magical elixir - home grown ginger and rosemary, fresh organic garlic, onions and lemon, finely chopped jalapeno pepper, powdered turmeric, Ceylon cinnamon, tulsi, kelp and black pepper. What eluded me was the pungent, fresh horseradish, unexpectedly absent in our stores and farmers markets, until a birthday trip to New York, when we found the massive roots in a Russian market. And, once properly chopped and shredded and zested, all is covered and bathed in organic apple cider vinegar, a superfood in itself, where it will draw out the healing constituents of each vital ingredient, creating a powerhouse of wellness. And now we wait. Four to eight weeks of shaking the jars every day before we drain the lot, run the pulp through a juice extractor and add the final touch ... local honey, raw and unfiltered, adding sweetness and its own preserving power, along with a strong boost to health. A long time to wait for this Nectar of the Gods, but so very worth it: a shot of this each day and colds and flu stand no chance - bacteria and virus alike overwhelmed - say goodbye to illness. Let us now give thanks to our grandmothers and all the lay herbalists of generations long past, for through their efforts, our own knowledge is greatly enriched. We stand on the shoulders of giants. 5July2015

Not easy to walk through a meadow full of flowers when they look dead and it's as if you can see the bones of the dead reaching for the sunshine that the daises aren't sharing as I collapse towards the graves part of me wishing to be a flower and the other wishing I was colds stone with some skull and bones with my smile washed away but roots of nature growing in me my tears becoming lost in the ground because the flowers need it but I need to stop feeling like a dull piece of grass I need to be a flower but I'm just going to be another sad story lost in the dirt that the flowers need to thrive and another lost soul will kick me around but we all end the same and we'll all breathe the same dirt one day and it won't be easy to walk through a meadow full of flowers when they look dead

I went for an X-Ray the other day. My name was called and after the expected delay, I heard a nurse say Right knee? I said Yep! She said “Come this way… Can you get your trouser leg up to your thigh"? I said “No… these skinny jeans don’t go that high”. “In that case” she said looking me up & down... with a frown Pop in that cubicle… and put on this gown! For a start…it took me ages to get these trousers off… and force the rest of my stuff into the carrier bag supplied and then, when I saw the gown, I very nearly died! It would have fitted me just fine if I’d been 18 again but the gaps and bulges in the thing were a farce... and allowed everyone in the corridor to see my fat 71 year old **** I said out loud when I sat down again in the queue “You know…I had an inferiority complex before I met any of you. But this has definitely taken me down a notch. And I apologise about the view”. However, inside the X-Ray room with all the techie kit and Radiographer Rob, I felt better… The pain in my knee had almost gone apart from a distant throb. Then he said “You’re completely safe, just lie back calm, quite still…serene”. Whilst he clicked the shutter from the other side of his lead lined screen. (So he was alright then!) Well, I’m home again now, hobbling about… It’s bearable (not like childbirth ladies) but not great. I’m sitting here with my leg up waiting for the letter that will let me know my fate. Ah yes… men and pain! There is a well know fact about the differences between the sexes. It’s proven that, with men, colds become flu…and ailments:- epidemics… (No really!) So, here’s the letter… Now...will it be Ointment? Physio, to transform a permanent slouch? Or a keyhole flush with a catheter? Or - Oh no!… For me - it’s a titanium replacement knee!… Ouch! Somebody pass me that gown!!!

The violet sky stood bashful against the dimming horizon. Stark trees sprang from the ground, flourishing in dots midst the blushing stars. Street lights flicker on, reminding me of how mom didn't have to yell for me to come home, the lights whispered it to me, carried in the caressing breeze. I'm reminded in the spring, of the day me and my friend ran into the pelting rain and jumped through puddles, soaking our bodies in high pitched laughter and impending colds. I'm always reminded in the summer months, how everyone including myself, preferred water from the hose over water from the tap. Or how we'd run rampant through the field behind my house, screaming against the heat. The broken sidewalk reminds me of the time when we all thought we were cool for trying to smoke cigarettes we stole from our parents. I fell in love with patches of clovers more than that of a boy's selfish smile. I was more in love with the act of collecting lady bugs as pets rather than holding a hand pushed into mud. I preferred shallow swimming pools over the small voice of a boy asking me if i had other friends like them. Or how the beam of the sun was better than the beam of a slender, pale face with blue eyes. Blind and innocent children, we fell in love with things we could touch or splash in. We fell in love with the beautiful colors and characters in our favorite Saturday morning cartoons. When we weren't playing cops and robbers, we were lost in a world of SEGA and Super Nintendo 64. We were infatuated with a world that never altered, but our vision cleared of. We were saturated in a time where our only big worry was making sure we got our recess time. And when the smog cleared we realized our biggest worry was making our parents proud. And it seems that it should be the other way. We should be proud of the kid our parents raised. But ultimately, the monsters under our beds became the demons in our heads. And the kid your parents raised slowly became the kid you wish your parents never had. There won't be a day in my life where i wish i could fall in love with the sound of an ice cream truck, or the animals at the end of my bed again.

The constant fear of stomach aches, back pain, sore muscles, colds and flu, headaches, bad coughs, weird sensations that you don't even understand. The constant fear of wrongly multiplying cells, of hair loss, of transplant, of cardiac arrest, of nausea, of ***** failure, of words like lymph nodes, stage three, clogged arteries, terminal, irreparable damage, cancer. The constant deaths, in a thousand different ways, in a thousand different hospital beds, that consume you every day, make you sick in the head, sick, sick, sick. The constant Grim Reaper's  hand of health anxiety, forever on your shoulder.

Hot/Cold, Part 2
I need rent, but how am I supposed to get it paid with a grand total of eight people in town? I need space to celebrate my first taste of a private place, but even as I dance for quarters - dollar bills at best - I hear Mr. Delaney's footsteps, feel his molester's breath dancing like a hot hand with its fingers to piano keys from my shoulders to where my skull sits on my neck! His hands on my neck - I hate this hole, this holler, Cacophony I'm seeing dreams smash, firsthand, seeing me swinging hammer His hands on my neck - I hate this hole, this holler, Cacophony, but not like the life I left behind! what I left behind, what I left behind grows colds, grows overhead, grows on me, grows close, so close to the light that I lose the light and grow cold, no friends, no room for remorse, just four walls, hole of black creeping mold, a fine home to settle in, to hate what I left behind, love I left behind, whole worlds away. I'm home in this cacophony.

i am grateful for stretch denim on days when           **** it is a fashion statement for lavender laundry detergent because that smell reminds me of the home i've built in my head for tea at 2 a.m. when all the things i've done race in my head because the next morning, i usually get my **** together for colds because they make eating an entire roll of cinnamon buns completely justifiable for the mountains that surround me for NPR and good, rated M fanfiction for def poetry when i can't find the right words for finding a pack of cigarettes when it is only 11:30pm on a thursday night and i am well past drunk in a slightly damp armchair for harry potter and neil gaiman for when twenty dollars fills up my gas tank for my grandma's potato salad and biscuits with honey for feminist zines that make me want to smash the patriarchy for burts bees chapstick and jasmine-green tea for friends who let me cry on their bedroom floors for books that keep me entertained (even if that means me crying in my bathtub while reading them) for courtney love and joan jett because those ******* have ridden in my car with me over many heart-breaks for well-water and sulfate free red wine for johnny cash and new orleans and whiskey for salt-- because that **** can wash away anything for farmer's markets and co-ops for bottles of water  and for cookie dough when my mouth is the consistency of cotton  and my mind is a little bit gone for warm days in January and cold days in September for breakfast and for hikes that begin at five a.m. for summer nights drunk on wine and a little too much fire for friends who call me 'momma bear' and for friends that call me 'baby bird' for poems that give you cold chills and flowers stolen from my neighbor's yard for skin that smells like the sun and sage for beeswax candles and the smell of clean laundry for days when i wake up and realize i could have died on a bathroom floor

In memoriam Asher and Franklin Farmers flocked to Blossburg's mines     willing their abandoned plows     to perpetual dust and rain. Burrowing into the Tioga hills     with Keagle picks and sledges,     they filled their trams with rough cut coal. Black diamonds - carved for waiting boilers     of New England mills and trains     and Pennsylvania's winter stoves. Brothers, Frank and Asher swung their picks     in tunnels deep beneath the hills     and brushed away the clouds of soot. Their coughs at first seemed harmless     enough as from nagging colds or flus -     but deepened as their lungs turned black. Pain and choking drove them to their beds     where no medic's art could aid them.     Then the coroner came to seal their eyes. A stonecutter's chisel marks their brevity     on an marble graveyard obelisk     that pays no homage to their sacrifice. September, 2007

Black Diamonds
Off lone island bay, Outlander waves are praying, Curly in their white caps. Cars and lorries are creeping Into a village still sleeping, Coming in from nowhere. Stones have things to voice, There are stars of rock fish Deep in bays with the moon. Beyond night dream are lochs, Darks and colds of longings, Mountains old as confusion. Birds chime their mouth musics, Churlishly sent over moorlands, All questions ring unanswered. On broke beaches are notions Of days strung to faraways And sands bleached ancestral. Off lone island bay, Simple comings, waves, goings, After sly moon, sun has its say.

Lone Island
You shuffle in from the kitchen half stooped over under the cover of your nightgown. Dry lips smeared with Vaseline set in a lazy frown. Stinking of Vicks vapourub and oxtail soup steaming from your favorite mug. Eyelids heavy and more than a little dozy. Hand reaching for a *** of tissue to blow your dribbling nosy. With the mug in position you slump on the sofa propped up with pillows, I've no choice but to move over. Despite the max level of the central heating I can see you are still shivering. A fit of coughing erupts, raw and bone rattling. There's a wheeze to each breath of your laboured breathing. Moments pass and then comes the first snore like an animal staking claim to its **** with a roar. I carefully remove the mug and fallen tissue Softly I kiss your forehead and whisper, “Get well soon. I love you.”

Beautiful Colds
For God’s sake hold your tongue, and let me love, Or chide my palsy, or my gout, My five grey hairs, or ruin’d fortune flout, With wealth your state, your mind with arts improve, Take you a course, get you a place, Observe his Honour, or his Grace, Or the King’s real, or his stamped face Contemplate, what you will, approve, So you will let me love. Alas, alas, who’s injur’d by my love? What merchant’s ships have my sighs drown’d? Who says my tears have overflow’d his ground? When did my colds a forward spring remove? When did the heats which my veins fill Add one more to the plaguy bill? Soldiers find wars, and lawyers find out still Litigious men, which quarrels move, Though she and I do love. Call us what you will, we are made such by love; Call her one, me another fly, We’are tapers too, and at our own cost die, And we in us find the’eagle and the dove. The phoenix riddle hath more wit By us; we two being one, are it. So, to one neutral thing both sexes fit, We die and rise the same, and prove Mysterious by this love. We can die by it, if not live by love, And if unfit for tombs and hearse Our legend be, it will be fit for verse; And if no piece of chronicle we prove, We’ll build in sonnets pretty rooms; As well a well-wrought urn becomes The greatest ashes, as half-acre tombs, And by these hymns all shall approve Us canoniz’d for love; And thus invoke us: “You, whom reverend love Made one another’s hermitage; You, to whom love was peace, that now is rage; Who did the whole world’s soul contract, and drove Into the glasses of your eyes (So made such mirrors, and such spies, That they did all to you epitomize) Countries, towns, courts: beg from above A pattern of your love!”

Dear Life Why you gonna be so rude? I cannot feel happiness Cause everytime I get too happy Anything bad happens It makes my heart hurts It makes my eyes cries It makes my soul weaks It makes my feet shakes It makes my brain stops Why you gonna be so rude? You make me afraid to loving someone Cause everytime I love someone Anything bad happens It makes situation worse It makes my world empty It makes my space lonely It makes my room tiny It makes my imagination flies Why you gonna be so rude? You are like Dementors You kiss my happiness Only left bad memories You make my life colds You make my life dies You made my smile gone You made my future grey (Palembang, 12 Januari 2015)

a rant
After the storm, when the clouds are spiteful and vengeance has been taken Breaking character at play practice for a moment of pure ecstasy and humor Catching colds, leaving an imprint of sickness and annoyance on one's face Dodging the curious stares of ex lovers with a feeling of relief Envious emotions towards the summer when you're left with chills and bare trees Frozen faces in shock of the aftermath of that day back in September Gracious arms stretched open wide by a Savior who has nothing to hide Helplessness left on the man alone in the street with nothing to eat Ignorance comes with the guy who thinks he knows it all (but really knows little at all) Jokes are thrown left and right coming straight for the girl in the corner who's feeling depression Kindness shared between two strangers hopeful that soon they'll be more than that Lovers share a softened gaze and a touch of hands producing electricity Moms crying for their kids first day of school, tears of joy Nasty boys with shallow minds give over everything they have thinking they have real "love" for the night Open-minded people uniting in the world to feel a sense of community Pretentious celebrities showing a carefree attitude for the camera, but heartbreak behind Quaint and quiet simple minded people read their simple books and live in a state of simple happiness Red cheeks flushed brighter than a firework in July Static on the radio playing really low, a tune really slow, with a sad tone Tucked in crop tops, high waisted jeans, & converse lending a helping hand with nostalgia for the 80s Under said phrases and over said words shouted on the rooftop with remorse and bitterness Vertigo left her in a state of constant anxiousness Watery eyes dried by pruned fingers in the salt water pool mixed with salt water tears X marking the spot where she caught him with her Yellow, stained pages and the peaceful smell of antique books Zealousness for life shone in her eyes, almost like a musician when their fingers brush calmly and excitedly over their instrument

After the storm, when the clouds are spiteful and vengeance has been taken Breaking character at play practice for a moment of pure ecstasy and humor Catching colds, leaving an imprint of sickness and annoyance on one's face Dodging the curious stares of ex lovers with a feeling of relief Envious emotions towards the summer when you're left with chills and bare trees Frozen faces in shock of the aftermath of that day back in September Gracious arms stretched open wide by a Savior who has nothing to hide Helplessness left on the man alone in the street with nothing to eat Ignorance comes with the guy who thinks he knows it all (but really knows little at all) Jokes are thrown left and right coming straight for the girl in the corner who's feeling depression Kindness shared between two strangers hopeful that soon they'll be more than that Lovers share a softened gaze and a touch of hands producing electricity Moms crying for their kids first day of school, tears of joy Nasty boys with shallow minds give over everything they have thinking they have real "love" for the night Open-minded people uniting in the world to feel a sense of community Pretentious celebrities showing a carefree attitude for the camera, but heartbreak behind Quaint and quiet simple minded people read their simple books and live in a state of simple happiness Red cheeks flushed brighter than a firework in July Static on the radio playing really low, a tune really slow, with a sad tone Tucked in crop tops, high waisted jeans, & converse lending a helping hand with nostalgia for the 80s Under said phrases and over said words shouted on the rooftop with remorse and bitterness Vertigo left her in a state of constant anxiousness Watery eyes dried by pruned fingers in the salt water pool mixed with salt water tears X marking the spot where she caught him with her Yellow, stained pages and the peaceful smell of antique books Zealousness for life shone in her eyes, almost like a musician when their fingers brush calmly and excitedly over their instrument

Wandering the streets alone braced against the colds a dusty worn out overcoat mismatched shoes with matching holes Sunken eyes and sagging cheeks skin all weathered, failing sight He meanders through the cobbled streets seeking warmth to last the night His story all too common one more forgotten son who fell right through the cracks once his duty had been done The nightmares that he couldn’t shake that wouldn’t let him sleep mix with memories of the friends he lost call forth tears he cannot weep The proud young man once strong and brave is now a shadow in his past just while awake his demons hide but his peace will never last

Winter has coaxed its radiator enduced ether and the time has come for colds, snot and sinuses. Blackness gathers us to our tangerine oasis - and living room televisions. I left, to walk through the winter city. I saw empty car parks and Christmas lights, and thought London was dying. A fox grappled with a tesco's plastic bag. I walked through a winter forest. I saw creepers on gravestones and Victorian gore settled into the earth. I put my ear to the ground to hear the worms eating dead bodies and all the while the stars turned overhead like a millers wheel.
