From the walls
A scritch scratch–
(scritch scratch)
On the floor
A drip drop–
(drip drop)
Lumpy blankets
Contains a bed of mice.
Squeak squeak–
(squeak squeak)
Groaning house;
Aching, breathing,
Cold fingertips wafting.
Screaming, scratching, crying–
Silence.
Quiet sniffles–
(sniffle sniffle)

Groaning house;
Aching, breathing,
Cold fingertips wafting.
Screaming, scratching, crying–
Silence.
Quiet sniffles–
(sniffle sniffle)
Stuck in the sensations of still being still
Are you playing with the layers of lonely places here?

Yes indeed. I want to give a sense of loneliness off of most of my poems.
