-
In a little while I'll hydrate myself with a bottle of diet soda
-
and take a handful of 40 milligram Lasix.
-
Lasix is a powerful fluid pill,water pill by prescription only,
-
for which she has numerous prescriptions.
-
Sometimes I am faint and very cold.
-
I splash cool water on my face, smooth my hair,
-
but my hands are shaking some.
-
I'll take some aspirin if my hands hurt sharply,
-
so I can sleep later.
-
My lips and fingers are blue and cold
-
and I see in the mirror that blood vessels are broken,
-
leaving red spots over my eyes,
