the_drawing_room
(_) it has lovely wood paneling
this place we made up
you let me in
this mythical state of mind
with your acceptance
and so now
we will sit
and you can draw
our surrounding
antique furniture
with lovely brown and greens
and some red
to show our hearts
pumping pure companionship
later
we might talk
the words a stream of
feeling
and i will write a better poem

dipperwell the dusty globe
you brushed off
and remarked excitedly
about myanmar
and burma
the books you lifted
blew through the pages
demosthenes! you exclaimed
the rugs you threw yourself upon
arabic relics, all of 'em, you declared
and the sconces from the ceiling!
sixteenth century Greek, naturally.
the walls of the old drawing room
withered and moulded and collapsed
while you ran from place to place within
too thrilled to see
that I had been lost
in the mudslide of time
