    Poverty Hindsight

    As the musky scent
    of incense burns away,
    I wander from room
    to icy room
    filled with a fragrant sense
    that riches must be found
    under our memory box,
    in dusty corners,
    between the family albums
    and tattered story books.

    I remember you as a child
    and redecorate your preciousness
    with splashes of paste
    from a brand new bucket
    and together we hang the rolls of
    flowery paper love
    you always wished for.

    Never fear. The pharmaceutical industry will try to convince my inspired creativity isn't the real me writing. Why, without them I might be a nonsensical troll dwelling under a bridge braising other members and eating them for dinner... xxx

    Nice description of the house you lived in as a child. It reminds me of how I felt years ago when I went into the building I lived in when I was very young just months prior to it being demolished.

    You should consider making a collection of your poetry if you haven't already. It is as good as anything I've read recently by poets who get their works published and placed in libraries.

    Did I ever formally crown you queen of the kitchen sink metaphor? X

    For those who believe,
    no explanation is necessary.
    For those who do not,
    none will suffice.
