When Phil Is Sick

Forty-eight hours so far
Phil has been sick this time.
He resurfaces occasionally
For the next dose of Nyquil,
And returns to bed.

I am competent enough
As a mom and a wife
That I don’t feel one-legged.

But I do feel like
One leg is a bit shorter—
Like my life, my days,
My thoughts
Are off-kilter.
