waiting for the pills to kick in

a little Ode to Covid

 

with shiny eyes

and a head behind

 

a snuffle bug

mutter through razor blades

 

consider the anaesthetic lozenge

the sleepy pill, the wakey one

a chill and burning up

 

I know my blows

pile hanky high

 

o Velcro virus, multi-pronged

what is it you want of me?

 

such a pretty microbe too

you could be a bath toy

space ship

 

though no one can see you

there’s definite alien aspect

 

if bones must be broken

at least fillet me

take them out

 

will pill shake ache?

 

I must maintain hydration

and vitamin placebo

 

I know I know

the organ recital

 

this sorry for yourself is a full time job

 

and is it as bad as all that?

 

will poetry preserve me

or other way around?

 

I keep a cloud in mind

for occasion

 

and thanks for your fond wishes

I’m sure we’re about to be well
