ICU Pillows
ICU Pillows for big and small
Fluff fluff fluff one size fits all
Some support you to your death
Wiped down, then stuffed behind another's central-lined neck
Under legs, arms, and butts
Brain matter, sputum, blood, and guts
Alcohol and bleech wipes grab a pillow case on repeat
elevate these feet, I feel weak
Which ICU pillow are you going to give me? Can I have many?
A warm blankie, too. I'm cold and skinny, having trouble breathing
Take them down to CT accidentally leave three
Fluff fluff fluff stuff stuff stuff
Icu pillows rolled in slough

"Hello, Beverly, and welcome to Neopoet, Your poem is staggering with its raw honesty. Our world was overwhelmed and full of fear during that time. Still is a bit. I cannot imagine how it was for those seeing the pandemi…" - December 2023
