Heat, inside the head..
A lamp lit, now blazing fire
The skin seeks the bed
Just solace, not desire
It gets cold, now shivers
Vision heavy and fading
The outside still simmers
Body temperature rising
Restless, like death’s call
To pills, pillows & quilts
Endless sleep’s pall
Everything around wilts
In sheets I disappear
Despairing, near tears
Then tear after tear
As if death itself nears
Melting in soiled sheets
Odours of the sick most foul
Of skin that still seethes
Like disease on prowl
To pills, pillows & quilts
Restless, like death’s call
Everything around wilts
Endless sleep, that’s all.
