I walked from the balcony to the bedroom,
sleepwalked from the summer to midwinter;
changes became as cold as ice.

Poetry
People shouting roses
Fists in anger, hearts in love
Calling for the change to come
Summer too soon
buds burst like heartbeats
summer tramples spring flowers
colours too soon burnt
As the lights went out, everything changed
“As the lights went out, everything changed.”
Andi sighed and threw the book across the room. The standard lamp fell, flickered once and died. Darkness flowed across the floor and up the walls. The room was dark, dark with the furred black that swallows the light.
The clock ticked once. Andi waited for the tock but the soft thick darkness swallowed the sound. Then, shockingly, there was a sudden light, and Andi realised everything had changed.

“All improvement is change, but not all change is improvement” he said. Jim just gaped at him through the smoke and broken glass.
