Empty Room

I shuffle into the dim lit room.
My heart is a drum.
I see a crack of sunlight sleep through.
I flicker on the light.

My heart beats like a drum.
The room is clean and empty.
I flicker on the light.
Only one box remains.

The room is clean and empty.
The carpet is all torn up like Odysseus's ship.
Only one box remains.
I wonder what the box contains.

The carpet is torn up like Odysseus's ship.
I see a crack of light seep through.
I wonder what the box contains.
I shuffle into the dim lit room.
