lyrics

Illness

The world runs through
a processor
called my body
which is stuck on
a strange setting
that makes everything
shimmer shimmer
like my rabbit
heart shivering
inside waiting
for the big dog.

Outside the birds
in surround sound
are soundness itself
my nose is nothing
like a beak but
paracetamol
keeps away fever
in another
half-forgotten
miracle of modernity.

Nevertheless
my hands prick like
the Middle Ages
and I must learn
the tradition
of patience as
I sit inside
this morning light
sent an instant ago
by that giant
of health the sun.
