just put the words
on the page,
ignore the headache
the aching muscles,
the dripping snot,
the sore throat,
the raw nose and upper lip,
the overwhelming sensations
of pain and fatigue.

the sooner
you scrape something
together out of nothing
the sooner you
can crawl into bed
with the book on
the panthers,
crawl under the blanket
and wait for a new day.
