from this quiet room with shades drawn
by David E. Howerton
from this quiet room with shades drawn
I sit watching the dust motes
spiraling through sun beams
a trillion, trillion galaxies
in my living room.
Stacks of books and disks
litter the floor
cover every table and flat spot
notes and poems half finished
are left on piles of books
precariously balanced
cups and jars filled with pens and pencils
find homes on corners to small for anything else.
Every day with wind and sun
dust is blown through screens and windows
soft powdering of dust covers
every page left laying about.
