varicella zoster & thereabouts ( a brief yearning )

…

dear chickenpox

i miss you lots

once you were mine

i had you once


do you recall?

oh - years ago

so many since

for you although


i'm sure one day

as sure as worms

the cunning ones

catch early birds


quite soon you'll turn

& kill us all

just like you killed

them dinosaurs

...
