This Room Has Mystery Like A Trance

This room has mystery like a trance of wine; forget-me-nots of you are chair and couch, the books your fingers touched. And now that you are absent here the silence scrapes a secret rust from everything; while sudden wreaths of sorrow’s dust uncover emptiness like halls to stumble through, and terror falls. ~Kenneth Patchen  


This room has mystery like a trance of wine;

forget-me-nots of you are chair and couch, the books your fingers touched.

And now that you are absent here the silence scrapes a secret rust from everything;

while sudden wreaths of sorrow’s dust uncover emptiness like halls to stumble through,

and terror falls.
