Under The Weather

I ran my fingers across the wallpaper

and it felt so nice to not be sick of something

And I ended up in that room that I hadn't been in since---

and I liked believing in that again

because it felt good to not be like this

and then I sat on the hardwood floors

so I could feel something existing beneath my feet

but it was all so frosty in here

and I just kept reaching for something

something on the top shelf of the cabinets

but then I got distracted

and started chipping away the white paint

with my fingernails

until the corridor disappeared into a sugar set sundown
