Poison Ivy

Phil’s arms are swollen and weepy

The dust of chainsawed poison ivy.

After a night of little sleep,

He sipped his homeopathic water

And bathed and slept

And woke to repeat.


I would wish for greater effect . . .

Except I remember that 

Even allopathic drugs

Take many days . . . 

If they work at all.
