Strange Little Room

 


Strange little room 

where I can store 

the things most essential to me.  


It is much bigger inside than outside

though who would know?

A cold and indifferent world

seeks entrance for the sake of destruction.


The door used to stand ajar

until indiscriminate intruders 

chose to trample precious objects

with boots dirtied by selfish concerns.


Time has fashioned a lock. 

It has transformed me into 

a more discerning curator of

these things of fragile beauty.


Strange little room 

where I can store 

the things most essential to me.
