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.
