My grandmother has
|
||
|
|
a room in her house
|
||
|
|
dedicated to purple.
|
||
|
|
Lavender walls,
|
||
|
|
royal sheets:
|
||
|
|
I'd only need
|
||
|
|
you there
|
||
|
|
for it to be complete.
|
||
|
|
For eyes are the windows
|
||
|
|
into the soul,
|
||
|
|
windows I have spent many a childhood
|
||
|
|
gazing out onto the cold
|
||
|
|
dead suburban landscape.
|
||
|
|
How I wish I could take
|
||
|
|
you into my arms
|
||
|
|
and let you teach
|
||
|
|
this worn-out teacher
|
||
|
|
there is still warmth
|
||
|
|
worth searching for.
