the room…
A GREAT PIECE!
we rent this space
occupying it briefly
but everything
in the room
is ours
from
the furnishings
to
random thoughts
even
the broken dreams
scattered
throughout
the years
are
ours
so it seems strange
that we cannot share
this
small space
with whom
we choose
those
who pretend
to be our landlords
keep insisting
that
their rules
must
be followed
rules
designed
for their pleasure
and
their pleasure
is
power over others
but
we
pay the rent
guarded actions…
The picture speaks of the sadness of today’s society.
fears like thorns of pain
from yesterday’s fields pierce deep
into today’s flesh
creating a tenderness
and haltering future steps
