Time For Muted Lights

CATEGORY

When the plastic kitchen chairs

begin to crack

and the fabric on the footstool

shows its stuffing,

when the sink begins to list

like a sinking boat

 

pulling away from its mooring

when the breasts begin to go

and the skin under your chin hangs loose

and in the mirror you see

the wrinkles around the eyes

 

grow and deepen

when you feel like an aged courtesan

undressing in front of him

 

you know it's time for muted lights

in the collapsing house of your life
