garage lights

smoky blackness cloaks my vision, 

hanging thick overhead,

with no room

for sunlight.

the air feels stagnant, 

as it brushes against my cheek;

cold and foreign as it passes.

the air is musty and heavy,

like it, too, has collected dust.

my toes kiss the frozen floor;

the concrete grazes each heel as it passes,

onward, arms outstretched.

as the air around me settles,

the only sound 

is that of my breathing;

slow and steady, as my fingers brush the wall;

cool and cold,

like the concrete below me.

until i find a plastic square,

cold and simple.

until i find it, the whole world stays dark

and alone.

until i press,

and the lights go on.
