Curmudgeony Butterfly by Blair Gaulton

Curmudgeony Butterfly
Blood sugar suddenly dives;
I feel like a curmudgeony butterfly;
out of place;
don’t really enjoy this space.

The Quest by Blair Gaulton

The Quest
Dented by slowness;
unraveling;
I bolt myself together;
to find the apple juice.

Crushed by Blair Gaulton

Crushed
Crushed by
Blood sugar’s anvil.
I cannot fly;
in pieces, I watch the sky

Blood Sugar Cobwebs by Blair Gaulton

Blood Sugar Cobwebs
Wind curls my hair;
blowing blood sugar cobwebs;
out of my mind;
As the fog lifts inside;
I smile.

Battling by Blair Gaulton

Battling
Feeling blood sugar’s snow;
getting tired and slow;
enveloped in its embrace.
Mind is starting to get numb;
test and do something;
before I feel undone.

Blood Sugar Butterfly’s Hope by Blair Gaulton

Blood Sugar Butterfly’s Hope
Blood sugar bananas;
as I flap through the leaves.
Will the butterfly make it back;
to the home field?
Hopefully.

Blood Sugar Shift by Blair Gaulton

Blood Sugar Shift
Walking
suddenly flying like a butterfly;
am enjoying the flight.
Blood sugar must be out of whack;
have to pull myself back.
Grab some apple juice;
out of my backpack.
Drink it quick.
Flight disappears;
am left in tears.

Blood Sugar’s Slalom
Blood sugar slaloms around;
up and down;
as I fight to keep it on course.

as mind joins in the dance.

Pastry ‘n’ Fog by Blair Gaulton

Pastry ‘n’ Fog
Mind pastried;
by thought;
as blood sugar’s fog dawns.
