MALINGERING

This illness you have

this sickness that suddenly comes upon you

plague-speed

whenever I come near

what are its symptoms?

So far

I have seen you cough and shake

you hunch and shrink

while avoiding eye contact.

You cannot seem to get through a sentence

without spitting or spewing

and...

there is something

in your eyes.

Something ravenous

something dark.

I do not know what you've got

what has diseased you so

to keep you out of my clutches

but I worry about you

wish you good health

so that I may again find you

in my company.

Get well soon.
