livingroom

his knuckles clicked and cracked
cracking cracking
a dull echo bouncing off walls
walls made of white
cracking and clicking
clicks that bounce off white walls
searching the air for information
white teeth peer through cracked lips
white teeth smile at white walls
walls built
erected
around a metal frame
wet eyes see white walls
through glass and frames
eyelids cracked open
parting to see
a room made of parts

pieces of something alive.
