A Night To Remember

A Night to Remember. It is cold here in this room that has wall paper With faded roses on, which absorb the light. From a 40 watt bulb stuck naked and hanging On a thin rubber encased electric wire. Too dark to read too early for a bed that doesn’t Look inviting, I wonder who many losers Have been trying to find sleep looking up to Silence and asking the same question: “how Could it come to this? ” I sit on a chair and look Out of the window, dark shadows move some With haste in the hope of getting away from, Here, but they have yet to formulate, to where? On a ship of dreams I sail, at dawn ice crystals Glitters on the window pane and tell of hope.
