another cold

nose is blocked
cracked and red
right ear ringing
throat dry and dusty
deep down in the the lung

all thin and wary
breathing deep crispy
ricketing coughs
deep inside
the system shake

several
hundred tissues
disposed of
several
hundred mugs
filled with
strong tea
three satsumas
two deconjestion drinks
a day in bed

and still you will not leave me
as though you were my Wife…

lol, funnily enough I’ve got a bit of a cold today too, though only a mild one.

Head heavy,
Throat sore,
Sneezing through
The open door.

Turn your head and Kafka.

That was funny ha-ha - mmmmm-hmmmmm,
