my hamster has
a little window
in his cage.

i have not had
a good cry in what
must be months.

he must see
everything with
a pale shade of
yellow.

the warm water
creeps between my
toes like summer's
hot sand.

the world must
look full of
sunshine and promise,
for little Boo.

i dissapear.
up to my cheeks,
everything gets
quiet.

i cant hear Boo
trying to get out
of his cage
anymore.

i close my eyes,
submitting to the
silence my furrowed
brow and crinkled eyes.

it looks like
summer here,
forward and soft.
