I haven't been drinking water
my whole world is out of order
the dust creates cataracts over my eyes
and drains all the colours
beneath the phobias, the meds,
and the pain as my spine shivers.
She brings me water,
she brings me medicine,
she brings me warmth.
she brings the colours back.
she clears the clutter.
and puts my world back together again.
My wife.
