the curtains will stay drawn today
in half the candles cut
TV has orders not to play
and all the books be shut

the lamp knows that it wont be used
and kettle will not sing
all cups of tea will be refused
and phone will not dare ring

the pen will not spill any ink
the towels will stay dry
same will happen to the sink
and clothes on the floor lie

this couch shall not give out a creak
but in its depths me swallow
beneath these blankets i must seek
a window to tomorrow
