Winter Wonder Cure

Winter comes
in its birthday suit
with invites
suggesting layers

In New York
snow was on the ground
next day, warmth
I went out sans cloak

In Jersey
warmth was inviting
by nightfall
my throat was hurting

Remedies
of raw garlic, teas
with cayenne
and honey held me

Fatigue came
slowing vibrant me
more meds came
with soups and hot teas

In N.C.
cozier space waits
with honey
I wanted out fast

Missions done
I boarded Greyhound
warm, too warm
I can't breathe in heat

Flu was on
soups were remedy
with honey
medicating me

Cold turned cough
aches would surely pass
I was up
best remedy was honey.
