behind closed curtains
by Siza Nkosi
there is a room in our house
that's draped in red curtains
behind them is a box
covered in long silence
we never let the sun in
when night falls
we go inside the room
holding white candles
open the curtains for moonlight
hold the box very close to our hearts
and remember
that's draped in red curtains
behind them is a box
covered in long silence
we never let the sun in
when night falls
we go inside the room
holding white candles
open the curtains for moonlight
hold the box very close to our hearts
and remember
