yesterday's sun
vanishes behind dark clouds
fading snowdrops

this seems my worst year yet
plagued by illnesses
and hospital visits.
My eye is finally better
(though eyesight seems to fade)
and now my ankle collapses
and I contract a cold.
My jiu-jitsu coach blames me
"All you need
is a positive mental attitude"
and honestly
I'm tempted to walk out then and there
but at least
I've got a plot point solved
in the current novel.
Will her leg grow back
if she thinks positive thoughts?
