Cortizone


by TL Collins


the desire to scream is overwhelming
the energy courses through me, 
like dirty water of melted winter that flows down the gutter
the scream, black with the problems of everyday, 
and this day, 
and yesterday, 
and tomorrow
and there is no relief, no respite
so i slather cortizone on the bite marks of my experiences
and hope it can stave off infection
