Haiku of the week (month, year?)

Beijing's curse returns:
Lungs, throat, eyes all filled with dust;
Coughing all the time.


The belated return of the warm weather this week has been a decidedly mixed blessing. It's only rained twice in the last six months or more, so the whole of Beijing - the whole of north China - is a vast dustbowl; and now that dust is getting airborne.

I have been so bloody ill this past week or so, and I'm really starting to worry whether it's viable to stay in this country.
