Antique Suitcases

from SLEEP SOUNDLY by Advrb

/

lyrics

“read my life’s work in me”
in an alcove by thesea
i transcribed the poetry
of my friend hidden where i want to go.
o, humming songs of trenches,
cuddling close on benches,
what we really want
comes out in whispers of vermont.
as we see auburn day to auburn day,
let’s scribble with our pens,
let’s create “remember when”s,
let’s forget we have other friends,
tickings and tocks.
the painted posts are playing catch
with bouncy balls glowing
through the fog.
these are dreams dreamed with one blinky eye
by a boy who often sighs
as if he is hamlet, prince of denmark.
but he knows not to make same/similar mistakes...
pockets pile in crinkling leaves
blown from thrones on skinny trees
lining oil-on-canvas textured streets.
could we be the lord and lady
of a grand victorian house?
we’d take dessert in the study
and the port would have us soused.
from a chair of antique suitcases, at me you winked.
why not promenade with arms linked?
“i am a writer for those who don’t write.”
