I Don’t Know Why

HomePoetryI Don’t Know Why
Summary:
Sometimes it helps to write about what you do not know the reason for. I am feeling not like myself today.

I don’t know why we painted the front

porch this silver grey

the wood is still flaky

still brown under it’s neutral coat

like those kids

flapping around in their plastic cable knit

sweaters

feet still land bound with the rest of us

 

neither do I know why I pretend to relax on

these damned grey chairs

on the grey porch

more grey

clouds are gathering their wool

again

creamy whites and blues

and that.. color

 

I don’t know why the bedroom walls are

yellow

drenched in sunlight that

doesn’t fry the skin

perpetual afternoon

we’ll find the shadows have slunk

into the kitchen their knuckles

swollen and swinging

temporary truce with the myriad

reeks

 

I don’t know why I am smoking a silver

cigarette

I don’t smoke

somehow they end up snared

between my fingers

smoke floods down the steps

of golden twilight song

my heart twists

gratefulness an indelible

truth.
