pardon my disinterest

to converse. toothache

is no joke. sanitary ware

was a bloody mess after I

brushed with medicated

paste. in my mouth

rolled tongue feels akin to

fuselage of an aircraft.

this year, winter solstice

is overshadowed by pain.

Toothache makes hay of wanting to converse. As you will have realized, when you have toothache you are conscious of one thing only: toothache.

Oh Gautami-I wish you a rapid recovery!

for whatever reason, i read overshadowed as overwhelmed. maybe because the writing transfers that hurt and pain until i, as reader, felt overwhelmed by the hurt on your end . . . ? either way, works for me -- be well soon? please.
