cold and dark (poem)

alone in a dark room I keep cold
winter's warm polluted night light floods in
fresh snow trying to subdue the city
this peace calls for melancholy
I've been here many times before.

a dark room's walls are invisible
the cold encourages hot tea
the world outside sits still and quiet
while my sanctuary fills with nonsense
a thousand words on paper
no closer to being complete.

-Zero
