The Dark Room

/ Ed Lehner

Six silent slabs of black surround me.

no door

no window

no escape

no rescue

no redemption.

 

Is the dark room closing in on me?

 

Will it crush the body as the mind?

Such vacuum of light sucks life

from my eyes

from my heart

from my mind

from my soul

from my time

to unfathomable emptiness.

 

Day & night now the same.

 

am I alive

or

am I dead

is

all the same
