   the day pans out as before and,

      the tickly cough and sore throat;-

            a common denominator in our being.

for observance of all and fully kept,

……...as I solemn paled upon the brow,

my heart wanting to leap

beyond the cage and free,

my gaze became a cinematic camera,

and all forgotten was pain and breath

and lack of spittle.

 

I cared not – my clothes sticky -

clinging like a spiders web and catch,

my eyes askance as if upon a host

of the evangelical – but,

not a soul here but me as all reli...
