Wee Small Hours
was feelin too sick to write poetry
every breath taken
was another nail in my coffin
with shades of self pity
hanging over my shoulders like a long lost friend
this cold still goes on forever
robbing me of vitality, smell, and sacred and much adored sleep
as coughing fits
like grand mal seziures
keep me enraptured in their tendrells
never mind
these wee hours of the early early mornin
say 1.14 am
allow me to think about things long forgotten
like how my loved one called me "toquie"
and how much I loved that name....and all the warm cozy feelings
the little girl inside of me now misses these feelings
I get to think about my goals and aspirations
of the art show I again want to put on in a small
coffee shop on THE DRIVE
But, most of all, this cold has given me a gift of realizing
how imporant one's health is...
in order to fully love oneself...
and you.
