Cocooned

I’ve been cocooned for three straight days Within my warm apartment, Accomplishing assorted things And writing (my department!). Though sick at first (which made me sleep), I read and watched some cable, Then made some photo books when I Felt better and was able. Some crosswords kept me occupied; A book held my attention. I never cleaned a closet, Though that had been my intention. Outside it’s freezing cold, I heard But at my body’s urging, I think tomorrow from my snug cocoon I’ll be emerging.

I feel the same way when I'm sick and cooped up in a small space. That's when I have to be outside, if only to breath fresh air and take a short walk. As for my frozen robins, yes, it's hyperbole, but this year I've yet to see a robin in the snow? Always a pleasure to read you. / M
