Light in a Mausoleum
A transplanted room, an impressionistic
mockup of one's most stayed dwellings.
The one slept in during dreamless states.
Sighs, dragged chairs--the floors eyes
pooled on.
Light's weather, now light only--dark's
weather--now dark only.
Moved by a solitary motion, unable to
curry favor with *******.
This is rest above ground.
Swept center of center, that
contemplation saw spread still.
Passed cobwebs that rave about walls--
per pearly-faced spiders,
reflecting the silk of absolved breath.
Where music bundles up to play
higher rises--lower falls.
Evolving still lifes of vases cut off by
water, won't speak flowers aloud--
holding tight to their dried reach.
A masoleum's window is a depressed
medium, that clings to rain & snow as
a window to another.
Here bones are harder on coffins,
magnetizing their display to cautionary
tales without endings.
No--a masoleum's light comes after, right
before you.
Its way of Showing you out, if you
shouldn't be.
