Relentless Cough

The rasping resounds outside my window, denying death. On and on it lurches leaving little room for breath, darkening a lively afternoon with its jagged tune. I can’t help but listen, can’t help but wonder: when will the hacking thunder stop? An obscure answer hides amongst medical facts. I shut the blinds and close my ears, but the sound peeks through the cracks.
