My Box

I cannot see for the snow today
I’ve been out of bed for a while
and it’s closing in

I still feel like a child
but this
this brings in memories
holds them tight
a lifetime of broadcasts
pushing me further and further

Inside my box
I have my books, my pen
but I’m severed
from what I had as a child

These days I’m sitting still. Watching all the pieces, seeing where they fall.
