Sickness

Feeling ill #1

Feeling ill #1 (Photo credit: Idhren)

Sickness pulsates
First vague headache
Along stretched sinuses
And belly turning
Inner revolutions
Simultaneously
Chills across the torso
Pin pricking arms
And deep tiredness
Susserates the form
Eyes heavy but somehow
Too swollen to close
Back and forth
Undulating waves
Strange vertigo descends
A viral inhabitant
Seeks succour and security
As the battle for health
Begins.

  2. I am glad you are feeling better! I am just getting sick again! This year I have had the flu 5 times, the stomach flu 3 times, 1 instance of celiac spru, and hypercalcemia which I got from a low dose vitamin D suppliment thinking the lack of sunlight might have caused a deficiency it hadn’t! I was falling asleep standing up. This has been a rough year lol You stay well!

    • Thanks – hope you get better soon. Some years are like that I think, you get a few things in a row that batter the immune system around a bit then you kind of get everything. Fingers crossed you pull out of the cycle soon. 🙂

    ‘Inner revolutions…” I like your choice of words. You paint a picture with your words.
