Clouds
Today the clouds
are covering the sky
they block out the sun
casting shadows
and turning the sky
an unappealing
shade of gray
The birdsong stopped
they are hiding from the storm
because the rain is -
Overheating
Wearing
too many layers
with the heater running
and the sunshine sunning
Laying on my floor
with a beam of light
shining
directly on my back
warming me
I bask in the warmth
until it starts to be too much -
Stealing Food
Sneaking
on silent toes
making sure that
no one hears
my footsteps as
I walk through
the kitchen
Silently
opening the box
and grabbing
whatever is inside
and holding it
carefully concealed -
Lightheaded
Laying on my bed
reading a book
suddenly
I stand up
My feet
hit the floor
and suddenly
something drops
from my head
to my feet
My head is
full of air
and gravity
doesn't exist
My arms -
Waiting
The initial panic has ended
things have started to settle down
we're all still stuck at home
but we're flattening the curve
or so they say
We wrote canceled on the calendar
and then we tore it from the wall -
Smothered
The mess on my floor
grows more and more
each day
and I do not attempt
to correct it
My mom asks me
multiple times
before turning her request
into an order
I try
but something stops me
