weeds

I lay here

back against the sheets

the fan above me is on

one single, green light turned on—

the room pitch black without it—

my feet under my warm comforter

I listen to the soft swish outside of my window.

I like to pretend it's ocean waves

splashing on shore

but in reality,

it's fifty degrees out and they're just weeds,

grass and others
