my god i’m so lonely
so i set my small salt lamp
on the edge of the window
on the tiny wooden ledge

i turn the dial clockwise
and the light burns in my
eyes
sending a message to the dog across the street

the only one who might be able to understand my mess of  signals, signs indistinguishable from the clothes heaped on my floor

nobody, nobody nobody nobody 
nobody, oh, nobody nobody

somebody, anybody, nobody, again.

Very nicely done. I can visualize the scenes as you write them.
