lyrics

Dry toast
Slowly
Eager nibbles precede
A rush of nausea
A waterfall of bile in reverse
Rising up
Teasing my oesophagus
But stopping short of making its presence known

Lights out
But shards of grey penetrate
Minuscule gaps in the curtain
Taunting me
With a day lost to sickness
The unique possibilities
Of what could have been

Irn Bru
Gulped direct from 2 litre bottle
Sweet nectar
Aiding recovery
With a heady mixture
Of sugar and burps

Light movement
Attempted then abandoned
Strength to stand
But no head for heights
Urine must be held

Tight grip
The convalescence wank
Masturbation acid test
Here's to my health

Toilet seat
An unforgiving cold
Receptacle of debauchery

Lukewarm shower
Sickness quarantined in situ

Fully recovered
