I Stood in the Doorway

Submitted by smithk on October 10, 2008 - 10:52.

The door
the room
the walls
the Red.
The corners
the darkness
the desk
the papers
the ink
the blackness
the book
the candle
the flame
the grief.
The chair,
the man.
The eyes
the pain
the sadness
the shame.
The floor
the stone
the cold
the Red.
The ceiling
the black
the perch,
the wait.
The man,
the tears.
The knife,
the Silence.
