I am still throwing up sputum,
as the hours add up to the days
and nights of cough-counting s h e e p
It has been almost a week now.
Or, is it more?
There is nothing new
About this sickly sweet taste
we are old friends.
Maybe it came when it did,
(Sometime around when,
the world switched off;
for its annual binge of gifting and partying,)
To tell me,
there is nothing new
for 2015 to throw up for me.
