THESE ARE NOT THINGS


1.) Wall

Every corner and side I turn to
Is white and blank.
If only I could gather all the
Little broken promises you said
And paint them on the
                                      white
                                                and
                                                       blankness.



2.) Hands

Sweaty and cold are the hands
I own. The infusion of two
elements called being alive and
                                                    de
                                                        ad.

3.) Shelf

My bookshelf is vacant and
so am I. Maybe when I fill
it I will learn to feel
                                  again.

4.) Sofa

Lift the pillows and find bits
of chips. The remote is hiding
on the side.
I do not find anything. This
sofa does not help my nostalgia.
