and other stuff. Felt a little under the weather yesterday. Got through the day with cough drops mainly because I’d taken a couple heavy duty Motrin aprés shoveling and didn’t want to overdue. Three in the morning I wake up feeling weird and find I have no voice at all. Take some dayquil and when I woke up again to the go-to-work alarm I found it wasn’t much better. A lot of tea and some more sleep and I’m better but geesh already.
It must have been the reason why I fell asleep last night without even thinking about haiku. What?! I’m pretty outraged, how about you?
I, apparently,
drifted off to sleep last night
forgetting haiku.I awoke at three
What is wrong I asked the cats
but I had no voice.
and then a couple to keep me honest for today.
Narrowed eye, glinting
A tasty glaze of crazy*
Unpredictable.Inside this deep snow
the blue of childhood fortress
the cold silences
* With thanks to Grace Check for this nice turn o’phrase.
