Too Cold To Go Outside

I feel shame for being in the world,
Like a theif stealing time,
Stealing sunlight
From all others.
From one other only
From anyone at all.
Taking crisp fall air
And keeping it too long
-If someone should
Pant beside me,
On me,
Do I turn myself in?
I pray someone will
Catch me and take back
The time,
The wind,
I feel it even now as the winter begins.
