Home Sick

by Katherine - Aquarius

fever breaks
in morning sweat
from slower breaths
and fewer movements
dreaming of ignoring demons and
going insane
waking up
to television speeches
and the humm of a cat purr
walk on a light head
hugging the walls to stay upright
leaded steps
to the fridge I parade
for another soda
then back to bed
my empty stomach at ease
with hunger
I sleep my days away.
