Room and Board

 

The room the room the room-
solitary empire of fearing abandonment,
quarantine of wasted soul.
hiding from COVID creeping to new
highs of human folly.

the room, insomnia's stateroom
on a ship taking on water's drowning
force, an ocean swallowing too many,
to few, to suffer death where no one
breathes again (a fascination all it's own).

The room. it's a kindly lonesome refuge with
 no recourse, no recourse, no recourse,
( a Scant comfort). The room. The first last
place one is bound un'to the new
remoteness, distancing, (of an alien sort).

Good night to the room.
