Lambent light is thrown from one corner to the other
of this bare room, save for a bed and lamp.

Ah, I remember the lamp –
every line in its web pattern,
climbing the base
until it hits the bulb;
the incandescent bulb, throwing its light from wall to wall,
stretching the walls
of this bare room, save for a lamp and bed – my only comfort.

A cold, hard bed – my only comfort.

Enjoyed the contrast and the counting, closely followed by emotional intensity..I'm just not sure about the first "my only confort".
But that's your creation not mine...
