A comfy orange armchair sits under a poorly painted

character of the long-dead Lewis Carroll

Though this isn’t the place for White rabbits,

there have been swirling Cups of Tea   

sat upon tables, with chipping paint

Some obscure, easy listening tune

from the 90s is playing softly,

it struggles with the hum of fluorescent lights

 

I decide I don’t know which one is worse

and slowly sip on steamy caramel latte,

disappointment flowing through my very veins

The faint blue lines leave traces of you

the voids that you have long refused to fill

 

The books are faded

pages yellowed

leaky roof

ticking clock

mildew

and utter insanity

 

The unspoken 

is that which is fading away…

 

Broken shards of sunlight

to be seen from open window,

oh so close

yet so far away
