Kit Kelen #1185 - remains, not mortal


1185
remains, not mortal


tables we can't take

cigar box full of keys
(to nothing for a long while now)

the fridge apace
last chairs
microwave

dead aircon even

books no one can
or has the will to read

watches wanting batteries
but I don't think so

everything yet to be painted

came into the night
and slipped away

from dust
years passed

and the drinks go round
a speech is made

other centuries peer out of walls

where the slot car flew off the track

where dog bit guest
and tore down blinds

here sat by Rachmaninoff candles
and found the speechless world

house of echoes
like a death tried out

now the ashes
the Christmas angels are gone

draw back the curtains
day comes
