still in pajamas
unkempt hair, sleeping baby
snot on my shoulder
---
we lay on the couch
guard cat prowls, finds his subjects,
sleeps all afternoon
---
coughing, sneezes, cries
a steam bath when he wakes up?
feel his forehead: warm
---
baby will not nurse
his comfort is rest today
breast pump helps mama
---
cancelled plans, missed friends
staying home all day and night
feels like missing out
---
no time for self-care
peanut butter and jelly
this is sustenance
---
healing: lithy tree,
European hornbeam helps,
silver, ear drops, rest
---
love you baby boy
time will help, you'll feel better
mama's here for you
