RED CHAIR
THANK YOU Tess, for Magpie Tales
PASSAGEWAY
Half demolished,
the house of early days.
Windows,
shapes without glass,
every breath,
freed from the walls,
now part of the wind.
All I feared
were simply tales,
old wives whistling.
Days of first dreams
now have
the weight of silk, fraying.
Chairs splinter into fossils,
specters work.
Timid memories
float from my mind.
All phantoms left behind,
asleep in Samsara.
I pick up a key
to swift passage.
