Untitled




Be a captive
of everyday words
door, window, roof
walls, the four corners of the house
for here
the secrets of the closet are magnified.

Be captivated
by everyday dreams
school, job, family
and a poetry book on the bedside table
for life
though a mere breath
is a gust lapping the ocean waves.
