a fever

A fever rages through my brain

and has me howling at the moon

a strange mysterious malady.

The soothing rage

the cooling fire

the healing pain

the healthy wound

the fog that lets me see so clear.

What struck me so?

When was I struck?

When were my senses so confused?

And yet, I see so very clear

what before was foggy in my mind.

Like a blinding flash, illuminating

that which I should have seen before,

might have seen before,

had I not been blind in a different way.

But as the blindness from the flash

recedes and I begin to see,

a clearness floods all over me

and in the center I do see

you.

A fever rages through my brain

and leaves me howling at the moon

a strange, mysterious malady.
