TB patient’s whisper « Attempts on Words

TB patient’s whisper

work will shy away

friends fly and hide

more than cough

these stab me

and the thought

of giving everyday

bacilli to lovely

daughter and wife.

but hope sparks inside

as a melted physique

tries to form strong

6 months, 9 months

forlorn to smile

weak to jumping

must count my tabs

must count my weeks.
