Wavering Light

Calves spasm in the night
warm, wet, wavering candlelight.

Western congestion, returned plight,
the drone of insects, the mosquito’s bite;

Infected, reflected, so much fright!

Warm wet, wavering candlelight.
Calves spasm in the night.

Calm balm, unsanitary redress;
old quandary, old mess;
stomachs tension diaphragms fright;

Warm, wet wavering
Hope for the Light.
