Hospital Haiku, part 2

home from hospital …

my phone starts recognising 

my face again 

27/9/24

not a lap cat

but after my absence

lingers there

28/9/24

four days home

I manage to shower

at last

29/9/24

convalescence –

lost in the limbo

of all this rest

*

all my life 

the same navel –

now scar-changed
