Hallway




Hallway
by Winlove P. Tulibas

Loud noise,
Echoing off the walls
Passing closed and open doors
 Footsteps from a crowd around me
Chattering, hurrying

Then, I blink
The voices die away
No one left
They disappear all together
Leaving me here, listening and staring at nothing

I can hear the thump of my heart
The murmur of voices behind closed doors
The silence…

It’s already empty
The class is over
Lights off, doors locked
It feels quiet
