Claustrophobic
September 22, 2021
I've never been
Claustrophobic
Except for in
That room
With four walls pressing in in in in smaller every minute every moment-
The air too warm even with the fan running
Full blast
Looking at the boxes of empty grey with names but no faces
The walls of the boxes pressing in in in in
I can't go back
To that room
For twenty-two out of twenty-four
Windows shuttered like
Cameras turned off
Away from the outside world
And towards bright silence
