Across a Crowded Room
why
why
why does
the room spin
ever so
slow?
what
what
what does
this pattern
of colors
mean?
muted…
fading…
gone
why are the
stars all just
right out of
reach?
and
why are you
tangibly
close, yet so
far?
here…
now…
I’m shrouded
in darkness
with no chance
at all
for
light
here…
here…
in the dark
