To Let

I’ve never really had a home
just a series of rooms in which I’ve stayed,
rooms in which ideas have played
in which dreams have decayed in

rooms where the hours have passed
where spells have been cast
rooms where I’ve lost my mind
white rooms
black rooms
rooms where I’ve been left behind

rooms where I’ve toasted the passing of the day
where my empty head can lay
rooms in which I’ve made love
blue rooms
green rooms
rooms in which bags are shoved

rooms with locked doors
with dirty floors
rooms where spirits have been crushed
red rooms
dead rooms
rooms where limits have been pushed

rooms where there’s something missing
where there’s no pot to piss in
rooms where I’ve shivered in the cold
light rooms
dark rooms
rooms in which my story will be told.

We are all as transitory as furniture –
gathering dust
we just
occupy a space
until we are replaced
by something else;
thrown out onto the street,
incomplete
like a broken table
a chair
or an empty shelf.
