Dust suspended in the air
Pebbles clattering down the rickety stairs
The bombardment has lasted ages
Another salvo begins
As soon as the last has faded
Much longer in here
I will surely go insane
Shadows chased away
By guttering candles
Every day is much the same
The cadence of the eruptions
More than I can handle
I persist
Papers strewn about the Space
The scribbles
my only escape
Startled by the scratch of the pen
