Fever! Fever!

Came down upon his fore head
   The wings of virus
         Fever! Fever!

It came as an angel with destroyed wings
At the middle of the night.
Settled and set a colony
                Of desperate invaders.

Fever! Fever!
Dial the doc.
“Yes sir. Fahrenheit 103.5
Analgesic? Power 400?”
The alien flower
In a pink pot
Bloomed to a full golden ash.
His memory showed he had been sad
When was that? In another life?

Fever! Fever!
She mopped his head
With flavored mint water
Still it spread.
He never felt the pain
Soft green scraped his eyes
Closed as they were.
Are you listening to me?
_ she asked him.
