@skippingmoonrocks i like Masaoka Shiki’s poetry. He wrote bedbound and dying of tuberculosis. I haven’t read his essays yet, but would like to https://itetsu.jp/main/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/JPHCM13_INO.pdf

Edit: pdf maybe not accessible for you, but here’s a poem of his that encapsulates some of the bedbound experience. Makes me cry every time.

the sprays of wisteria
arranged in the vase
are so short
they don’t reach
to the tatami
