lavish white
cement towers
lie to the east,
adjacent to the ocean.
each one outfitted
with fluid balconies
where the waves
can’t yet reach.
10 stories up
there is a window
with a soft light
that flickers
with made for tv’s,
as the rest sleep.
there is sand
in the floorboards
& camels in the trays.
“you’re a good person.”
you sit & ruminate
facing
the window.
going over
your words,
in stead.

This is wonderful. I love how sparse it is. No word superfluous. I love how you give the telling details. All words have a use, and there isn’t anything left over, nothing there that shouldn’t be there. Every single word has a purpose. Thanks you. 🙂
