    in need of a book

    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.
    I wrote a poem on a leaf and it blew away...

    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...

    who makes and keeps his self-made laws
