French Shutters

The pitch black of sleep
In a sealed charcoal room.
A restful darkened tomb
Where slumber runs deep

Time has lost its place -
The sun has not been revealed
Until the shutter is peeled -
Sleeping in a case.

A crypt for dreaming
You can not see your hand
Whilst stumbling as you stand
Through cold, grey scheming.
