A longjohn day.
A long yawn day.
A jaw-pop, face-crunch
yawn day.
A long day.
A full-body-ice-pack
sore bone day.
A sorbet day.
A stay-in-bed
and lean-off-the-edge-
to-scoop-the-cold-day.
A cold-turkey
back-away-
from-the-ledge
day.
A back-against-the-wall day,
a hide-from-the-grind day,
a body and mind day.
Your throat is a little
hoarse.
Your awake,
a little tired.
You don’t have a fever
yet,
but your body holds
the heat over you like the
Sword of Damocles.
You wait for the fall.
This happens in the autumn.
It’s a sick day.
Take a sick day.
Your sleep is interrupted.
Your throat is a little hoarse.
Take a get-better day.
Make it get better.
It does get better.
Sleep uninterrupted.
Take the hoarse out of your throat.
Turn it into the pony of your dreams.
Ride to the edge of the planet,
and wake up
centered.

You ended that most beautifully. Gorgeously. I love how you pick a metaphor out of seemingly nowhere and turn it into an image of utmost clarity.

You said exactly what I couldn’t put into good words.
It’s the images of utmost clarity…..perfect words for what I see when I read her posts.
This post today made me cry. It struck something inside that I didn’t know needed to be cried for.
