the room
Read 'the room' by 'Rg Gregory' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
you know how it is with the room
the door is frequently locked
as i pass a white sigh
is pushed out from under
as i bend to retrieve it
the wood quivers with a woman's breath
there is a ruffle of crying
through the keyhole i am able
to glimpse a red dress
clawing fingers
then an eye seems to be clambering
towards me over the hard lock
all the time someone is calling my name
sometimes the door is open
i have been inside
there are chairs a table
curtains where you'd expect them to be
the sun on a ladder outside
shining the windows
there is nothing to hide
signs of living but no one is there
just an ordinary room
i prefer it i think
with the door closed
