Sickening heat

Claws at my eyes

Till the nausea

Snares my mind


Rays of sunlight

Creeping through 

Turns bruised purple

Lucent blue


Past my curtain

Creeping by

A pale gold

Of day’s bright sky


It pounds in my brain

Desperate in its way

Melted at touch

I could sleep the whole day


But my walls once gray

Are bathed in gold

So I’ll try and tug

The curtains closed


The morning light

Blinds my eyes

As delicate Dawn’s

Patience subsides
