Hiding from the Sun

Heat overwhelms me.

I feel woozy and feverish.

I crawl inside.

I hide from the sun.

I curl up with the curtains closed.

The fan is on high.

If you need me, don’t expect me to answer.

I will avoid the brightness for as long as I can.

I have my bowl of water next to me

and here I will be for the rest of today.
