less is more... more or less.


Interior

There are eight rooms of my own here.
They cause me to wander and squander time.
They upkeep me to absurdity...
Then turn around in need of favours on
An unknown rota and I will be
Done with them.

Moments are not three dimensional things are they?

It is three rooms I need stripped bare
Stripped bare.
The pleasure dome expanded.
With me magically within effortless...
Throwing pebbles out of pockets
That land on the grass with the needed soft sigh...


Resoundingly aware of how much less I need to covet a life
I want to strip naked...the final cry arrives...
Do away, do away
Fly away be gone
Give me less.
Take me to some interior
Of some other one.

I liked the poem for the multi dimensional comfort it offered.

*Comfort of the senses
*Comfort of gentle self reflection
*Comfort of possibility

Thanks again for your inspiration, Hans

The read was good,...but consider....all those roomes lined with white marble...cold to the touch...like a tomb. Eight rooms, each with an offset door. Dim light from skylighted high ceiling...all cold to the skin. As you enter each different room, a susicion of a faint shadow moves imperceptibly without sound. No rustle of material, just accompanied by a movement of air. A night spirit looking for a home but enjoying the cool night after the furnace of day...
Best surreal....
Sid.

I know exactly how you feel. It's like owning a white elephant farm!
Unused rooms collect dust and symptoms of sloth then want to be painted to say nothing of heating them in -30º weather. Maybe a tepee in Arizona. :-)
