Pollen

Pollen

Slurry in the morning

Eyes red itching

Take an antihistamine

Might make you irritable

More than usual

By ten am mouth dry

Nose cracked bleeding

Sun baked membranes

Here comes the migraine

Ears ringing…

Cicadas of the cranium

Element of water

Close at hand

Therein the solution

Complete emersion

Loose the laundry

Pour in

Sluice out in the evening
