Stare
At the wall
Blank
The windows are open.
They should have stayed closed.
It does not make a difference.
Pale yellow.
The colour of my neighbour’s house.
Two feet from the shutters.
I can only see pale yellow.
Stare.
At the wall.
Blank.
The children play outside.
They should have stayed indoors.
But it does not matter.
Blank.
Their expressions.
Clutching tightly.
New touchscreen phones.
