feverish

head spinning
vision fading in and out
breath that smells faintly of grape tylinol 
feverish 

over heatnig one minute
covered in goosebumps the next
tissues covering the carpet
feverish 

temples throbing 
and a cough so powerful 
that it makes my ribs dig into my stomach 
feverish 

feeling caught between awake and asleep 
hands pressed against imaginary glass walls
feverish 

falling into a restless sleep on the couch 
forehead hotter than the tea on the coffee table 
feverish.
