A Windowless Room

20/01/2021 – Poem a Day Compilation



No light hits my face

In the early morn

Blinding me

As I lay in the dark.



No gentle breeze

From an open window

Bring sweet perfumes

From distant blooms



No sounds muffled

By double-glazed displays

That let in just enough

For it to be unquiet



No casual glances

Down a suburban street

At people in their cars

Going about their lives



No stargazing now

Twinkling illuminations

Sparking curiosity in me

A creature made of stars
