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
but it was too beautiful outside
on the sectional
and all i can think about is
and drink enough water
a burden to others
the betrayal of my body
and the sun on my skin
with you again and again
