Enters uninvited
Pushes, pulls passively
Inching it's way up my feet
Antibodies surface and suffer.

I like that verb, "suffer." It's just about the prettiest way to express distress. This is a lovely, imagistic piece!

Like the title (a lot) and like the content (also a lot)! I'd definitely hold on to this one.
