Incredible poem. While walking: "... long stretches pass where I’m somewhere else entirely, working on a poem, suspended in thought-limbo."... Enjoyed :)

I used too, but my doctor told me there wasn't anything proved about the efficacy of Vitamin C. The juice of one orange would be enough vitamin for daily consum. If you have got all those symptoms you got to see the doctor.
Beautiful Easter poem!
