I REMEMBER YOUR QUEER STORY ABOUT CURTAINS I remember your queer story about curtains — But I don't know why it has stayed in my mind. Maybe it's like something you happen to find In some closet you might open now and then — Something — you-are — suddenly — here. Again. And — for no particular reason. Defined It a place and time long-ago. Designed So as to be vague — veiled; certainly no friend. Yet neither dread enemy this dusty Memento from a When — I'd not have had — Yet still stab barely as then dull and pointless knife. Now drawn now brandished now ready: MIND YOU! rusty Gut bare-laid brain — here — pain... still-in-vain... still sad... Still uncertain still gush purple blood life —

The imagery is of a time
when things where dusty, somehow hazy
sort of like a childhood attic
this piece is blatantly dark,
shadowy like an old black and white film
I truly enjoyed this piece,
because it takes on a life of it's own
a masterful scribe!

I was a child afraid, confused and alone in the vivid, dark, stunning write. I may never look at dusty curtains the same again.
