Adorably Herbal

she sniffled
into a
tissue
saying
she was
cold

my tongue
tip touch of
her forehead
felt hot
so to stop
future coughs

rubbing 
crushed
mustard and
garlic on her
chest
marinating

while making
two separate
pots of tea
one which is
ginger mint and
honey

the other
valarian
root the
smell of
a boiling
bootless

sock 
she will
drink so
that 
she will
sleep

while i 
watch
over
her
in my
heart
