🤢
these thoughts plague my brain.
bubonic, covid, black.
why can't i forget anything?
why is it so hard for me to forget?
so hard for me to forgive?
justianic, pneumonic, pharyngeal.
i need my mask,
my vaccinations,
just to be around you.
just to remind myself you will sicken me to the core.
my symptoms?
my tearducks, red and puffy.
my lips, quivering.
my cheeks, red.
my face, stained with tears.
septicemic, meningeal, influenzic.
you plague my brain.
