I'm sitting here


 in this dark cold room 
amongst the paint pots
and cobwebs.
I crave for the discomfort of a private seclusion
amidst the agony and the  misery of this place.
The rain is the only sound
breaking the silence 
on the tin roof,
 every now and then a single rain drop 
finds a way in 
taps onto the 
concrete floor. 
I dare not switch 
the light bulb on
It would  spark a fuse 
expose my secret hiding place.
I am the prey 
the predictor 
is my torment.
No one suspects anything 
from the outside
the door is well disguised 
it can only be unlocked from the inside by
sliding a frozen 
steel bolt.
This is how the 
writing gets out.

Avie.
