The lights have turned off
The sound of the switch echoes
Like a web. Darkness envelopes.
Feeling suspended and weightless
I know I'm here
I know that I am alone
I put out my arms
Hoping to feel something
Something familiar
Something concrete
But I don't
For there is nothing
As I walk through this enclosing box
With no walls
I am alone
Nor a spark of light
Nor a gentle breeze
Nor a minute chance of an encounter
I am alone
And to be this way forever
Trapped in this life's darkness
It is deafening.
