A striking and beautifully strong autumn sun shining
straight
into the office creates a stifling atmosphere 
making me
feverish, the text to be translated is utter 
confusion
with words repeated even worse than any 
previous
text, no wonder tonight I feel ill
When my
beloved invites me out to a meal I decline, 
refusing
his treat is an alien concept, I always accept – 
tonight I
wasn’t strong enough to eat anything, such 
behaviour
makes me feel self-alienated, fatigued to 
exhaustion
yet not tired enough to lie down
Bliss is
only found if we become happy in ourselves, 
as yet
there is no such thing in my heart, the world is 
the same
– only I am not; and my daughter is here 
enjoying her
project asking me to spell foreign 
words,
her presence a comfort indeed – if only 
Stomach
and head would stop hurting…
