One cup, one chair, one open book,
Inside my quiet, favorite nook.
The light falls flat upon the wall,
Without a single sound at all.
I do not need a crowded room,
To chase away the morning gloom.
The simplest things provide the most,
A quiet mind, a piece of toast.
Hugo is a minimalist poet who focuses entirely on quiet, fleeting moments. He strips away all unnecessary language, leaving only the barest, most impactful words on the page to convey complex emotions with stunning simplicity.
