after all this time
I know this place so well
I can find my way around
with the light off
from the bed to the door
past the chest of drawers
with my eyes open or closed
in the dark
and where do I go
when I reach the landing?
do I go downstairs
do I go into the spare room?
at the top of the stairs
is the bathroom door
will I wash my face
should I have a shower?
in the dark
every single night
I memorised this room
I turned off the light
and I walked around this room
if I do it right
I can reach the door
without bumping into the furniture
in the dark
