My room is a lonely kingdom



Marooned in bed
with cigarettes
and cold coffee
within reach

Headphones on
and alone
in the window’s
streetlight glow,
my bed is a broken raft
that cannot brave the sea.

I’m drowning on land,
gasping for air
I’m loath to breathe.

There’s always
someone around
who will call
the song intones,
but the phone
is always
silent
and
the night
is too large
for my heart.
