Couloir

Lights off

The sun shines bright

Sweep Sweep Sweep
The sound of the road being swept

Eyes open
Head feels heavy

A deep whiff of air fills the lungs
A sigh?

Slumber broken
Threshold of another monotony

Glasses
Cant see without them

Cough Cough
Hands tremble

Rocking chair
Its comfortable

Eyes close
Its not dark

Lips curve
Yes, a smile

Hands held
The little girl laughs

He laughs with her
She runs

He runs with her
She runs too fast

He's old
He cant run as fast

She's far
He's let go

She turns her head and smiles
He smiles

She's far but not alone
She's holding someone else's hands

They're both far, waving at him
The old man waves back


Eyes open
Lights off
But the sun shines bright
Walk on the couloir was memorable
The mind just wishes to sleep peacefully now
Lips curve
Yes, a smile

Peace
