signifies the continuing work
of an air conditioner
in need of service.
Six lights around the room
allow sight, yet still somehow
a gloom lingers, and the warm
neutral colours seem muted.
seven hangers dangle
one coat between them
mocking the extraneity of
its empty brethren.
A tv sits unwanted,
unwatched, and a phone
lies bored, unused.
overpriced into silence.
A functional bed awaits
an occupant, pillows awry
from earlier spreading out
it promises warmth
but not sleep.
