A Room to Live

Five nights now
in my new home
I have written
until dawn

crept over my shoulder
reminding me to retire

By candlelight
words drip
from my hand
I must write

Far too long I have spent
between sterile walls
a house he called it

no signs of life
other than the sad
occupants
who paid for a room
to live
