Written for: dVerse Poets Pub – “Make some room” (posted by Laura Bloomsbury)
“Conjure a room or rooms in the literal, functional, metaphorical, imaginary, and/or fantastical sense.”
A converted garage served
as my apartment long ago.
I was able to touch
the stove from the bed. Spending
far too much time
in that room, precipitated
my claustrophobia. Every
dwelling since then has had
a profusion of windows–
light, airy. Walls may
be decorated artfully,
but you do not mistake
them for windows.
