Shelf #27
September 19, 2010
Carved by rough hands
for profit only
and I became a permanent member
of shelf #27.
gears, surrounded, claustrophobic
my mind disappears into
oblivion.
a touch, feeling.
how do I say farewell to something
secure and supportive?
New world and eyes
repaired to fit the time
I have missed.
Uncertainty.
Moving forward feels
similar to departing in
the opposite way
I miss #27.
When I return I find
dust covered shelf #27
it is not the same.
I am changed beyond my home.
