the unexpected visitor

it's unexpected.
most
illnesses are. we don't hear
them
coming up
the steps,
they don't call, they don't
knock at the door.
there's no
notice in the mail.
it's a visit
you're never prepared for.
but here they
are, with their heavy luggage,
anticipating
a long stay, moving into
your life
for weeks, or months,
maybe more.
