This Thing

I feel it,
the pain throughout
sitting, standing, having lain for hours
either, or and all.
I feel it as it spreads
and even my mind can't react,
can only be held in silence
as words trickle through
read by burning eyes,
head supported
by leaning back
the touch almost too painful
to withstand this thing
called flu.

I thought you were writing about poetry written by Toerag or Balladeer.  I guess the flu is close enough, though - lol.

That's okay Maureen. You mean you get Mad Cow Disease from eating beef? As long as it's still safe to kiss them I guess I'm in the clear....LOL I hope that you are feeling better. And thank you again for that beautiful write I'm still in the clouds.
