It's 12:00am
too dark to see past my hands
too cold to move

Since 6 months ago
I've been locked in this tower
with darkness my only company;
I watched as the hours
slowly passed by

Once a few months
my window gets open
And I can see the sun,
feel its rays on my cold dead skin

I'm deficient in vitamin D
Once a month is too little
so I've grown sickly,
deformed by the sun's absence

It's okay though
one day that the window was open
I let a bird slip in
I named him Thoth

He fills the void left by the sun
He gave me strength when I had none

But Thoth is the god of knowledge
something I already have
Ra is the sun god
which is what I truly need...
A poem I wrote back when I was alone in my apartment for university. Right around the time I got my cockatiel which I named Thoth in honor of the Egyptian god of literature and knowledge.
