I don't often complain
but at moments like these –
confined to the bed
I have all to myself
a mountain of slimy tissues
and soothers wrappers
growing on the floor
struggling to breathe
wincing as I swallow
each cough travelling deeper
towards my lungs –
I think of those who have
a partner to bring lemon tea
chicken soup and medicine
and I would really like
my voice

Sorry to hear you're unwell Sarah. I had a nasty cold a couple weeks ago, so I feel your pain - particularly with the mountain of slimy tissues, my gosh!
