Of emotions- the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide

'I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?' -Ernest Hemingway

into this old house she quivers silently,

 

a being of turning on pointed toes of

girlhood,

        

               her steps mesh within these

antiques and their desires, blood-let

paintings of feuds and lost coins.

 

                                                    she

is reaching for something breezing in

through the windows

 

                                   while the walls

watch her spinning.

 

                               they say not a word.
