An estate of mind

It’s not being in the right state of mind.

Your stomach is unsettled.

Your arms ache, and you’re slightly light-headed.

It’s past noon, but you still haven’t woken up quite yet.

You feel a pulsating pain in your lower back, which causes you to let out a yawn.

The coffee isn’t helping.

You keep missing the eye of the needle with the string. So, you spend all day trying to string a sentence together.

But, that sentence doesn’t fit with the one before it.

Before you know it, you’ve constructed a quilt from patches.

You lay down and pull the quilt over you, vowing to start writing tomorrow.

You just need to sleep now. Just five more minutes. Five more.
