Gift of Hazelnut
I am sure they thought they were doing something wonderful.
Putting hazelnut coffee into my mailbox with a bow.
It is no one who knows me.
Because I am deathly allergic to hazelnut.
Or it is someone who knows me
But does not like me very well.

Pink Polka Dotted Kewpie Doll
I try to paint
with a shock I realize it is giving me no thrill
No joy; for the first time in six years
I return to the middle bedroom
darkest, gloomiest room in the house
turn on my electric blanket and go to sleep
wake up wondering if it is morning or night? Does it matter?
I am on strong

All In Fishy Allergy
Huge raining time, but no pain in sky heart
Heron is flying with white could mountain
Under the shadow I'm walking towards
Blue sea crackling the address of shedding
Two birds tweeting for aching foodless life
Lockdown under unlock key to breathe good
Drizzle running after joking hotness
Sudden raindrops drenching veins of fever
Henna on your hairs digging noiseless grave
Black Sabbath singing

Unsatisfied Scratching
The scratching wakes me up
Ridiculously unsatisfying
Yet notoriously put there by shingles
Or excruciatingly painful allergen.
A scream for help
Time is in my way
Sorry I sid not sneak my Excedrin pm into hospital
Morphine is not cutting it.
Each time more insistent
On a more potent drug

Allergy
I was sitting outside in the garden,
and stroking me cat on the back,
when I must have brushed on a flower,
which angered a wild bee to attack.
Accidentally I made the mistake;
a mistake that brought me to my knees,
and now I have been diagnosed,
that I am quite allergic to bees.
Well it’s not just the presence of bees,
or

Allergy Poem
Allergy Poem
Pollen, dog hair, mold and dust.
Make my sinus raise a fuss.
Headaches, itchy eyes, histamine.
Many a season I have seen.
Cough drops, tissues, little red pills;
Drug store prescriptions, druggist fills.
Hot tea, lemon juice, local honey;
I have spent a lot of money.
Allergies can drive you wild.
I've had them since I was a child.
Someday I'll walk through Heavens
