The sun is finally on the floor

The sun is finally on the floor.

It’s Tuesday, I think.

I woke up shivering in a pool

of my own salt.


The furnace in my chest

has gone quiet.

I feel light, or maybe just

thinner than I was.

The top sheet is stuck to my collarbone,

a cold, wet skin I didn't ask for.
