I wanted to sleep

Curl up and rest

Each hour I don’t

Makes me feel wretched

Too hot, too cold

My feet hurt, my neck aches

Sleeping on an armchair

Doesn’t really work.

But my ribs hurt

If I lie down.

Broken a fortnight or more ago

Still mending.

Walk round my room

Make a warm drink

Put the radio on low

Turn it off

Legs ache

Feet swell

Impossible

Doze above flying feilds

…….

Snap awake

The builders just started work

Next door

Whimpering.
