work in progress

I remember months of that word I hate

Sedentary

I remember months of wheezing,
struggling, coughing

sedentary

blur, confusion, exhaustion

I remember explainations, excuses
emergency

X-Ray, contrast dye, embolism, "infarc"

I remember falling
on the hospital bed
gasping, swollen,
gasping, collapsing

her indifferent face
now different
running, yelling

gasping
