 The Write Stuff vol. 7

light

is the only living thing
breathes life into dust motes
a little god

hooks & nails
draw attention

walls cry out for pictures
sun-fingered curtains
torn wings

a gape of absence

see the dents on the floor
feet once danced here

and tables held books
and chairs held people
