At first
healthy
notorious motif
serving better
our toxic and fiery
purpose
turning tables,
ambiguous chairs,
letting stage be
our home,
we’re forging the reason,
emulated precarious
puzzles,
piano pauses,
words
accusing
the weight
over lurking pensive
floor lamps,
highlighted the
blooming Bonsai,
blurry painting
aligned with nodding
Hawaiian turtles.
the hawaiian turtles there in the close made me smile... also love the lurking pensive

ReplyDeleteEnjoyed. Had feeling of being enclosed within a well known room, long enough to know the shared objects a little too long.
ReplyDeleteFamiliar surroundings, your home; well done.
ReplyDeleteThe words you chose gives this piece a heavy, oppressive feel that the last line lightens. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteWell, I LOVE those nodding turtles at the end! Big smiles. Intriguing word usage in the second stanza...the precarious puzzles and piano pauses.
