Empty cups sit in the sink
Liquid long since dried
The sun is up
But she is not

Blankets wrapped around tight
heat burning through her pours
Silence curls around her ears
Making it impossible to sleep

Time has stood still
for God knows how long
waiting for her to move
but she refuses

Her bladder screams
her stomach churns
an odor laughs at her nose
the mattress has formed to her curves

The air, stale as it is
has become angry
at this pathetic being
It lay heavy on her chest

Her eyes close
irritated dry
she will stay
just a minute longer...
