HIKIKOMORI
HIKIKOMORI - Japanese term for extreme social withdrawal, characterized by prolonged isolation within the home, often for months.
The
viewer
Sees
the universe
Yet
is trapped
In
his sea of emptiness -
In
the corner room he calls home
Hikikomori
-
Isolation
in a throbbing world
Where
there is nothing
Beneath
the squeaky surface
No
soul to speak to
You
can go out
To
the farthest corners
Of
this world
Yet
will meet
Only
your own mirage
The
room may expand
To
engulf the world
But
you remain
Alone
still
Empty
handed
Isolated
in
A
busy world
Aloof
in the frenzy
Of
neon lights
When
inside, its all dark
Come,
peek inside
You
never know
What
you will find –
A
pulsing star?
An
event horizon?
The
kind that comes
When
you outgrow galaxies?
To
travel the farthest skies
Only
to find yourself back
In
the corner room called home…
