Chalky Blue Room(What A Mystery)
Folder:
Twisted Branches chalky blue room
someone never finished
left it furnished
left it turning blue
little little clues
paintings
potraits
drawings from school
diplomas for jobs
love letters
celebrations
and half hearted smiles
funeral cards
colored greetings
black and whites
good byes
pale and yellow
"its just a scar"
carved into the table
and aesops fables
holding up a desk
chalky blue room
someone never finished
left it furnished
left it turning blue
chalky blue room
someone never finished
left it furnished
left it turning blue
not a bottle
not a bar
not a flask nor jacks'
broken crown behind a jar
but still the air in
lingers
ethanol
decaying cut flowers
outside in the yard
stagnant puddle occasionally slightly freshened
drops..
to the sink
lingers
drop splash
drops cross the carpet
darker and deeper
then this woven
pink ev'ning tide
survivors
bobbing on the ocean
calling for attention
in ocean plad life suits
the mood
deepens
leaving the room
chalky blue room
someone never finished
left it furnished
left it turning blue
left it turning blue
chalky blue room
someone never finished

a poem on the shower wall reads
a mystery is a hidden reality
unearthable when of nature
a mystery is what your gift is to me
with artificial flowers that last forever
or a while..
and misery is a hidden reality
complexing by its nature
and misery is what your gift is to me
and artificial flavors that last forever
all the while..
we smile
we laugh
between retrials
i don't get why
it never gets
better then the past
what a mystery
and then i understood the note
back where i first entered through the door
"any flowers they've left for me,
plastic or natural
they are all yours..
returning your gift and leaving you mine
...to you"
and who its for
what a mystery
