Off sick-- edit 2

edit 2 Thanks rowens
I plodded through a box of tissues today.
Now giant cotton popcorn overflows
a red beach pail-turned-trashcan, resting
where my feet should be.
But they’re curled between
orange plush and me,
twisting round while trying
to keep ten toes from turning
into small frozen cherries,
like those my sisters would eat
on scorching days,
far from here.
