I Caught a Cold

Rain, ice, and fog
driving wind
force it to take refuge
its cold wet fingers grip my throat
making it impossible to sleep
impossible to breathe
one by one it takes the people I love

When Spring comes
it will shrink back into the woods
crawl under the roots of trees
and dwell until the sun disappears again
