The Symptoms (The Signs)
By Gabriel Stelian-Shanks
Response
Right as you woke
the pale blooms opened
as if you were sun
As if they knew
dew rose on your skin
before the day did
And dream-soaked eyes
peeked out of bedsheets
as if you bloomed too
You blinked, I think,
as you lied, said we
weren’t morning people
Because dawn breaks
when you grin, yawn, stretch
and then I’m cured
Of a sickness
I didn’t know
I had.
