Fresh Start

By Louis LibertDecember 4, 2020February 4th, 2021No Comments

© March 2004..2009 Linda Hirschhorn

I love the barrenness of your room.
No potted plants
with leaves dry and curling.
No drawers full of old string and wrapping paper,
or screws and keys and broken clothespins
that once held a life together.
Just clean, sleek angles;
bed meets wall
meets window
ovelooking the ocean and the
bridges beyond.
