The middle room
With dimming glittering lights
of a pale blue hue
pastel pink and green bedsheet
covers the queen size mahogany bed
Powder turquoise curtain drape a broom like trimming
sweeping, sweeping the hardwood floor
An elderly woman rebuking eyes
stares through a fragile picture frame
WATCHING
a young girl's way of life
A quiet song sings in silent tongue
Mattress churning turns to midnight light cat fight
purring purring to a hush
Pennies shillings rattling like snakes
falls to the Sacred ground
And the elderly woman's rebuking eyes
makes the young one cry
Oh This is so musical... love the rhythm in this and the content..Of course!
