Ailing

A hollowness

and an aching promise

of pain yet to come

 

If my temperature

runs lower than average

and then increases to the average temperature

this means I have fever

this means I am ill

this means I am ailing

 

Clammy hands are often

heated by a hot head

 

A hollowness

and an aching promise

of pain to come
