Little Pills of Comfort (I)
Surrounded by used tissues
head over a steaming bowl
Paracetamol or sipping Lemsip in a bid to rid this cold
I send you a purple pill
to block
the negativity of sneezes
a green one
for recovery
from your coughing fit diseases
a yellow one
for appetite
that taste buds will again bloom
and an orange one
to give the nerve
to leave your dark sick room
a red one
that will fire your power
and help you realise you're beautiful
despite your runny nose and streaming eyes
with all of this I send a cup of
lavender coloured dew
collected from the flowers that the garden spirit blessed especially for you.
