In this apartment

In this apartment, everything is taken. 
Only the silhouettes remain. My heart
stays at B3. I can see the beams
of good will extending far and dark
like roots at this level. I am going
to be here for the rest of my life. 
My turn will also come to extend
and transmute into the foundation, 
collected by the hollow, presented
side-by-side, by the bright windows.
