Influenza Dream

Flu like a phantom
crept in with a silent sneer
setting up camp here.

All hail the warriors,
Golden Seal, Echinacea,
Etheric Healers.

I sleep for three days.
On the third day, I learn
flu causes sleep, not colds.

I rise from a dream
of white kites over a lake,
a cat curling by me.

White face like a mime's
mask, she gestures, black eyes blink.
I reach for her name.
