Dust of Ordinary

Dust of Ordinary


for so long she has called a glass house
her home, content to watch the world
go by, interested only in memories

captured within the walls of her
yesterday... loss curtains her windows
and fear carpets her floors, silencing

the footsteps of life carrying on without
her, and she believes herself happy
in this fish-bowl existence...how sad

that dust of ordinary and fingerprints
of everyday miss her and long for her
return to the living instead of leaving

their whispers upon unopened doors
and closed windows... how sad that they
are not welcome in her house of glass

The tone of this lovely piece reminds me of one of my favorite poets, Emily Dickenson and one of my favorite playwrights, Tennessee Williams ("The Glass Menagerie.")
You are such an outstanding poet and it is an honor and a pleasure to read your work.

love the title
adored this so real to me piece of work
tragic for the on-looker
playing it safe for the naieve

So tragic, to live in a glass house and not be able to "SEE."
A melancholy, but lovely poem.

This is exceptional to say the very least of it and stunning to say what I felt reading it, I do belive that this is one of your finest to date and well worth saving to read and ponder again and again.
