Sick

Sick

My temperature snakes spireward

Dragging behind my entrails

Which coil inside my throat

Searing airways suddenly

Impa*sible, tense and volatile

Given to violent expressions

=

My words thick and vitreous

Come out in a cuspate lisp.

Throat raw with hysterics

I ration them with the precision

Of a telegraph, conserving

Every ounce of precious

Energy as I teeter on the

Brink of complete collapse

=

My head is a frightened horse

Wild and thunderous it splits

The earth, these thoughts

With its hoofs.My hands

Stiffen, spine bows imposing

On the chest’s capacity

I sag and limp, advancing

Beyond my years, decrepit

=

I crawl toward eventuality,

The acceptance of human

Frailty and weave myself

Into coffin sheets, forcing

Out the sunshine with a pillow

=

Well I am officially sick must be why I was so drained the last few days.I don’t know that this makes sense but I am going back to bed
