Eclipse

It was dawn.
I pulled aside
the curtain,
And peered out.
No sunlight.

It was late.
I pushed myself
up from the bed,
And turned the switch on.
No power.

I was thirsty.
I made my way
thru' the dark room,
And opened the tap.
No water.

I was bored.
I fought back
tears of frustration,
And picked up the receiver.
No noise.

I sighed.
I was cut off
from the world,
And left alone here.
No hope.
