I lay in my bed and listen to the
forever drone of the fan. The faded and cobweb frosted black curtain
waves back and forth letting in light intermittently. The dark room I
lay in is comfortable in this light. My head feels fogged and heavy
so that my thoughts are obscured. The house is a comfortable
temperature for now and all conditions suggest sleep.
Outside the rain pours and leaks
through my roof and saturates the ground. The rain seeps through the
cracks in the layer of shingle where the tar is vulnerable, through
the rafters and onto the darkroom table. The rainwater that was once
clear is now tainted brown after filtering through several layers of
decay. The darkroom trays catch the water and overflow on the
tabletop and spill out on the floor. The musty scent of the
indoor/outdoor carpet permeates the room. We keep the door to the
darkroom shut to keep the smell out. We keep the door to the darkroom
shut to keep out the light.
