Torpors

I awaken to the pitchy darkness covering my face and I roll over to dig through the nightless dark. I peep out hoping to find the warm sun; I sigh and scurry back to the warmth of my bed amongst the nuts and seeds we stored and snuggle with brother and sister. Tomorrow, I will try again. I know it will come. Just not when.
