The Telegraph

I dreamt of a home
where the walls drew shallow breath,
and the closets held illuminated shadows.

Velvet, embroidered, beaded and forgotten
treasures hung in the eaves.
Youth on a wire like a dusty dress.

Chilled, thick, grey linoleum
Thin, dry paneling
a fortress against time.
A cell of memories compressed.
