Apollo
There is a versatile Greek god.
He is the god of the sun
and the god of disease
Just as he brings the Sun to me every day
he will bring to me allergies or a cold like clockwork
right after the sea of black and tissues
My red eyes burn
My throat aches
My lungs can barely gasp for air
He will tuck away the Light in my life
I pull out the same black dress and pray
Bury my Feelings and a Person
Then the illness fades in part each day
melting away like the sunset
except for some small smatterings that stay like a constant
the invisible illness lingering forever
the falsely bright sun lowering like the coffin
