His Life


The roses on his desk are green and red

Books lined up like little soldiers

Ready to fall over like dominoes

A bottle of Saison is one book end

Followed by some pictures in a row

A vase of white ceramic

A picture of his favorite poet

Red ribbon hangs from atop a lamp

Lydia’s card next to a box full of guitar picks

“We write to understand, not to be understood”

Little figurines and a cardinal in flight

Phone in its cradle, a pile of papers

Cup of coffee, an empty beer bottle

 

His life is an

Open door showing its contents
