A Room Alone
night in the long hours
quiet like the inside
of a suitcase
somewhere
a fire is burning
darkness moves
a breath against
the heavy wall
blind and
pillow soft

That's powerful!
Somehow, the words 'like the inside of a suitcase' are shocking - they crash into the picture that you are painting. Perhaps because the expected might have been 'dark like...' but it is 'quiet like...' and it leaves the reader thinking. Wondering!
Such a big picture in so few words!
