Sometimes our minds are terrible, and therefore can be glad. |

I think the world is all my window-ledge, the leaded glass an undulating Andromeda, outside a lie. Papers fall through the door and whisper in the hall. What is the hall? Barely perched in my knee hug stance Witnessing the vision of a dream Where flowers hang and winds sing through the old wood frame, whistling like a friend in my memory, who used to do so when we walked home hand in hand. Two boys with blonde hair and tanned arms, seven years old; a little before the apocalypse, when the outside was real. But now the world is all my window-ledge, twenty-five and I can no longer find the secret entrance to places. The front door leads outside. I step out often, like an astral projection, puppeteering a man who looks like me through parks, keeping him healthy in the false realm that he might return soon to where he left me. |
