My goodness, I am drowning

Under my own body’s immune system response

Can’t breathe, my throat is on fire, my voice is silenced

Useless coughing causes my core to ache

Sneezing to loosen up the solid wall of …

Cold (an acrostic poem)

Coughing white steam while walking

Oblivious to the icicles forming his beard

Losing feeling in all exposed body parts

Deciding the Caribbean was a place he needed to be
