Woke up to a sinus headache,
So what, right?
Sluggish,
But not quite my usual
“Warmed-over-death” ill
Despite the throbing knot
Bridging my neck,
and the left side of my skull,
I still felt “Do-er.”
I followed that intuition,
carefully,
Slowly I moved throughout the daylight.
I broke free willingly for a nap,
Woke feeling the same
and marched forward focused.
The night came on and passed
And I woke the same.
There is no happy ending to this,
Yet,
But the slow and careful middle
is happy enough this time.
