Sunglassed in
Fleece nightwear
Vic-sticks for both nostrils
She declines on
Brown arm chair
To strain coughs through
weak muscles.
Enter each day with a grateful heart
I’m thankful for
porridge
unsweetened oat milk
windfall from neighbours
cheap honey like silk
fruit from the freezer
and the absence of bread
And peaceful, warm people
still breathing in bed.
