The Quiet Room


Private heart quiet room trooped

from another world, a corridor, you see

the wailing pipes wood resin aerosol tremor.


Far off though now to tiptoe, trill, at last

an empty building summer’s distance

distinctly promise, boughs I sat to leave


young broken frame, his roots upturned,

delight and pulped to bruises

little cuts along the ribs, 


with two whips, then another, little

punished face crowding quiet private heart

room trooped to his bed, to wake him dead.
