Music from a Farther Room
May 7, 2015
I feel their whispers brush against
The frayed edges of
Ripped pages
The names that fade
Into photographs which we encase
On bleak staircase walls and hallway sides.
Can you fit your dreams in coffee spoons
or brave the half-deserted streets
is there room for seven billion thumbprints
on the sprawling finger-painted canvas
or are some meant to fade and
ride the wind through sun-bathed corridors
and airy concert halls
as for me
though mermaids may not sing to me
In this desolate paradise
I will never go astray
