~
here in my sanctuary
an unplayed guitar Buddha
squats in the corner,
its polished mahogany curves
instrumental in swift seduction,
un-hung picture frames too
lean against each other like
slices of toast, amongst some
un-read books that litter the
floor in a chaotic mosaic in
this very personal museum,
only the desk is sacrosanct,
an oasis of order, nought out
of place, dusted and sparsely
laden, an unsung reverential altar
to the curation of words

( a shangri-la of lethargy)
