#NaPoWriMo 2024 - day one

they told me to start with the weather
but it was too beautiful outside
 
the house cool and quiet
 
so i spent the day slumbering
on the sectional
 
it’s Easter Monday and it’s April Fool’s
and all i can think about is
 
how to get up on my feet again
and drink enough water
 
the awkwardness of being
a burden to others
 
the shame of being sick
the betrayal of my body
 
all the seasons are changing
 
i just want to enjoy the wind
and the sun on my skin
 
fill my lungs
with you again and again
