Verse

No bell above the doorway,
no grand and final sign;
only the ridiculous title
and a margin left in time.

Refrain

The afternoon can be enough without a trophy.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the Room for play cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
