sick sick

A Poem by kimpetersen13kp

Orange cough drops. The sun falls down on our inconsequential town. Sickness is laborious, and the two shades of green I know. Sage (before anyone cared to call it matcha). Lime. Just lime. Somehow, in the nauseousness of it all, illness makes itself pretty. Tangerine red smears, the geography of my bloodstream, rivers through my sick. I’m sick sick. The kind of sarcastic sickness that makes friends with corrosive medication for the plot and will proceed to hack up your guts when the weather is too nice and it needs to find a way to bring you back to sodden streets, to the tiny towness of it all, or else you’ll get too hopeful. Or else the sun falling will become the resting sun, a sun held within the smallness of the town. Too bad it’s already the way I see the world.

why sick in summer hot is it like dust allergy or pollen? take care of yourself.
i am missing you, to understand what you are trying to point out. I asked a query after knowing staggering just to see your air coming from your lungs touching throat make me alive as i breathe in your air out, i never had chance to talk to you much though in same project and same floor, just a row beside. How lucky i am is it bad good luck? just confusion what you need when you need i dont know because even mom cant tell or guess, if you are systematic organized in life not only office space definitely, i would see when you need what though i am blind in your love.

Hope you know me better i cant take place of mom i didnt serve you yet like her till now too,
