Itching to scratch

Anticipation scratches at the back of my throat a sickness as unfamiliar to me as the reasons why it's there. Unknowing as I wake to the beginning of such a malady, I wonder why now? On the verge of lovely visits, and after so many days of health, why does it creep back on the morning of my break? Surely the question will be answered in the coming days, but until then my focus must remain on positive terms. The belief in health is enough to heal, so now I must go on.
