soliloque de chambre

a stout bottle of wine
and the box
with hibiscus stains
and an earthy scent
strung into its surface

poetry books
stacked in
beautifully disordered patterns
like a windmill
of my literature

peppermint tea
in ceramic coffee

tally marks on
cotton screens
paint streaming down
rich trees
and choking from the soft prose
