Poetry
The Paper
by Stella Lewin
Black leaking out of the pen
Elegant lines of different shapes
Ink soaking into the paper
Black slowly consuming the page
You have forgotten the world
Silence creeping up
The leftovers from a storm dripping
on your windowsill
Lights flickering
Tick tock from the grandfather clock
