In a desperation to get it right
I walk into the room
full of memories.
Peace lilly, my best friend
watches from the corner.
I look at the chaos
of deafening silence.
A pink birthday hat and
untold boxes of coffee mugs
but my favourite colour is a sparse word.
And home is a photo frame.

 

Inspiration for this poem is derived from my living room.
