One Day, Before School Poem by Rosemary Khoury

One Day, Before School



I am worse today,
my chest is stuck with pins,
my throat filled with acid,
my mind congested.

I feel as though a phantom insect or spider,
has gnawed so gently and for so long,
at me,
that I have only just noticed as the last piece of me is gone.

I must leave soon,
wander from room to room,
participate,
listen attentively,
all the time,
contemplating where to go.
