Indeed.  You just transported me back to a time of a tale...one that I did not personally live through, only knew from the sound of my mother's voice, of her time in the iron lung when she was paralyzed with infantile paralysis as a teen.  She was one of the lucky ones...

Very good, Meghan.

For a moment I thought your screen name was Karouak, like the american beat poet.  This poem sounds a bit like one of his "haiku."  Still, however, the meaning of this poem is rather unclear.
