January's jaundice invades
anemia drips deep into the
marrow

I have grown pale
in the malaise of Winter

my arms in remiss
of Spring's greatest arias, now
barely a sparrow comes, the
songs are soliloquoys of those
with affliction

once I was smitten, whirling
in lavenders, a mistress of
love and deception, earning
their awe with my seasonal
artistry

a diva in tulle, doves would
surround me, my arms lush
with greenery, now fear the
greed of the piper

yet I stand here regardless
in this monochrome still life
knowing the seeking
have made me their martry

for their waivering faith
as they pin me with ribbons
symbolic reflection
to the human condition

Oh boy. The flu. Sorry. After it is over start taking one 1000mg of Ester-C capsules once a day. At the very first sign you are starting to feel bad immediately take four 1000mg of Ester-C capsules. I haven't had the flu going on three years now since I have found out about Ester-C.

“yet I stand here regardless
in this monochrome still life
knowing the seeking
have made me their martyr”

This verse has such depth of understanding
Not merely a reflection but a look from
inside looking outside, looking in.
Really enjoyed this write.

If the flu is even partially responsible for a poem like this - I want it too. What a wonderful poem with vivid images.

Thank you for sharing and I hope you are feeling better.
