Stuck in Time's Garden

We never sensed that storm of vines
could cover our house so tight—
so spacious with its snare—
and all at once constrict the doors
to breaking in on themselves like saints
chastised on similar wooden symbols.
Those doors crashed with the night gongs
and their timber remained cracked
with the timbre of glassy frames
that crossed our christened faces
to kiss at the curving folds.
The things not nailed down fell and
struck accents across the floor;
of television and its holey face,
of internet and its router flat,
of food and clothes and things
that had an expiration fate.
But, what remained stays mounted
to the walls and transfixes
our hollowed out eyes like hands
fastened away from the sides;
those entangled moments
caught within the seconds
of another loving twist;
our heads caught in the cracks
of glass folding in our faces
to the child still not grown.

| I really like what you've written here. I simply must say so now & come again to read your words more carefully to hear & see the parts that flee from me. I am tooo tired to give credit aright. I'll read this another day. . . I feel there is a mystery held within. peace. elle |
