Infection

combating long term and unyielding depression

I would like to be a wound healing

a closing break in the skin

a scar

not this something fresh splitting open,

throat bloated with puss and blood

not the swelling and the fever

not this fresh knot of indiscernible pain

in my chest

I don't want to retch

and sweat

and burn like this for the

rest of my life.
