Distant Thoughts

The stressor is physical.
Her fatigued body stops to rest.
Her favorite pastime is reading.
She lays back to think of herself.
Maybe the malaise will leave just as it manifest.
The malady is felt as a sort of wooziness.

She has withdrawn and her inner voice whispers in response to her agitation.
The malady seems to take her energy away.
Her aloof demeanor is distant thoughts of vertigo.

Spanish Harlem is her temperament.
Her nature is that she is tired and need to rest.
Maybe life giving is not at its best.
Therefore, she reads placated.

Contemplative woes are regrets.
Her hand has paused in the text.
Will she find her place once again?
Alternatively, she will reread lacking the remembrance.

An affliction an aura the wretchedness she feels.
Her mind is propitiated.
She is detached from her activity.
She has formed misery.
