Fever Dreams

Dandelion days,

Cuckoo o’clock.

One April

I went as mad as a lark.

Spiral eyes,

Humbug hare,

As heavy as the air,

Life drove me there.

I bit into the pear.

Green grass was taunting

You’re not so healthy

As the dark iodine vegetables.

Loon legume,

That stringent seaweed taste

In stewed tea.

The smell of a cut lawn,

Foliage in abundance

Makes some people sick,

Body’s thick with it.

Trying to kill the will,

Sense of resistance,

Immunity fends self

From self,

There’s something poetic there.
