Through the Plaster

The fridge hummed, a lonely friend,
my pen tip paused, about to bend
the paper's edge, a quiet space.
Just lines and thoughts, no hurried pace.
Then sharp and loud, it cut the air,
a laugh from somewhere, over there.
Through plaster thin, a sudden shout,
all uncontained, let fully out.
My pen just stopped, a tiny stain.
The quiet shattered, felt like pain.
The air still shivered, after it's gone.
This room not mine, till morning dawn.
