What do I do without you or otherwise you.
Back to writing a book


Back to itchy fingers
and twitching eye.

What would I read when sickness falls
No longer able to communicate.
A kite I fly.
A broken piece of glass.
10 metaphors for life.
Scribbled on worn napkins
and stuffed into pockets.

I know it's not good for my skin.
to worry like this.
and it peels and flakes
and worries more

And breakfast will never be the same.
And the sunlight never warms the way it used to.
Waking me on the forehead.
And sleeping without dreams of bloody murder.
or other terrible mess.

but what else.
medication.
passing-the-time.
