Remedy Like Salt Water
December 16, 2014
Passing time in cough drops,
numbing the pain.
Creating hills of neglected wrappers:
stained pink by fading lipstick feathers.
Spicy orange, cherry jujube
dances on taste buds
bitter from waiting.
Carved slices,
fresh juice drips
and mixes
with mucus membranes.
Inflamed meninges
fight arduously.
They are tired.
They are tired.
