I got the chills
a fevere dream where no matter how warmly you dress
your arms and legs feel bitterly cold, so cold you can't sleep
I felt frozen.
I didn't think I had an temperature...
moments like this are when you realize that you
are never as prepared as you think you are
can't find a thermometer even though you know
she had one, can't find the blood pressure cuffs
even though you know you had two.
Fear creeps in,
So far I have escaped CoVid and the Flu
So far I have avoided the other clandestine
illnesses my kin and neighbors have had to survive
I prayed to the God I am not sure I believe in
anymore
