no magic left in me--

sick this whole season one way or another

a spike of a splinter deep in my heel

deaths (multiple) in the family

virus illness then two weeks later

a chest and head cold virulent as pneumonia

while I sit here too dazed to work

boiling drops of tea tree oil in water

and breathing it through rounded paper towels-

if the One is holding me in place for some divine reason

will I live long enough to see it?

I can't help but think at times this is the killing shot

but coming in merciless increments

gradually by degree--

if I had magic left in me

I'd know--
