BLIND CORNER | Room Zero

Grey light from a wall-mounted screen crawls across concrete, stopping just short of the far angle where two walls meet. A chair is dragged there one inch at a time; a cup sits on the floor catching wax from a candle that shouldn't be lit. A cream-paged book opens to a first leaf already marked — a pencil line pressed hard by someone else's hand, faded, unsigned. Rain moves down the window in slow vertical seams while the lens above the door keeps watching the part of the room it can reach.

We... are... with you. Al... ways... Midnight, the screen goes grey, not dark Its eye can't bend around this wall A chair dragged inch by inch into the corner A cup to catch the candle's wax A book with cream pages, from a shop with no sign A pen that has not tasted ink for years My hand won't hold still on the line I leave the date blank, I don't know the year One line One more The hum behind the door Nobody sees the corner Nobody sees my hand I don't write words, I write the tune Five notes I'm not allowed to hum I draw them slow, again, again Until the page is full of them On the first page, before mine A pencil line I didn't write Faded, pressed hard, someone's hand Who sat here in this corner before me My husband turns, the mattress speaks The screen's grey light shifts on the wall Footsteps on the stairs — they pass I close the book, I hold my breath One line One more The hum behind the door Nobody sees the corner Somebody saw before Six o'clock, the screen wakes up The book beneath the floorboard, the pen in my sleeve The pencil line is still there And so is mine Room Zero — films you watch with your ears.
