I've never been

Claustrophobic

Except for in

That room

With four walls pressing in in in in smaller every minute every moment-

The air too warm even with the fan running

Full blast

Looking at the boxes of empty grey with names but no faces

The walls of the boxes pressing in in in in

I can't go back

To that room

For twenty-two out of twenty-four

Windows shuttered like 

Cameras turned off

Away from the outside world

And towards bright silence
