vitamin c

wide eyed & haggard
after too much rest
sleeping hours into daylight and after
so

hazy with a temporary dislocation of what i know
i found myself at one
with a snowbank
and
only after
a short reprieve
did i awake,
freezing
with cold
at the bottom of my heart and blood rates possibility
pondering life death illness taxes
staring into grey sun and wishing for heat
well
for warmth
my fair skin, purplish in the concrete-encased-surroundings of my
hospital bed
i waited for the waitress...
headnurse to tell me
i was ok

better now.
just a fluke
hydrate more after cardio.
take your vitamins

be a good girl.
