The Deepest, Darkness of Night.

I sleep fitfully, seeing images,

restless, tossing, turning, far too hot.

Legs come out of the bedclothes,

arms fighting the duvet, seeking air.

My raggedly breathing, the rattling

wakes me, I feel fear. What is it?

Then, racking coughs as my lungs

try to clear themselves. No air, none.

I can’t breathe, I must get up!

I must get out. I must get up now!

Stumbling out of bed, need tissues!

Aware I have a temperature, water…

Stubbing toes, feeling my way.

Feeling for a glass and tap.

It runs, cold, cold water - relief.

The glass fills, I gulp it down.

I feel the heat leave my body

normalising, I can breathe.

out of the kitchen window,

deepest, darkness of the night.

I feel fear, will I survive?

My deepest, darkness illness?

Chilled, I must go back to bed.

A warm bed, I relax, I sleep.
