Atrium (Re-Submission) Poem by Seamus O' Brian

Atrium (Re-Submission)



I've left the light on
over the porch
which once opened
into my (house) .

There's rust on the hinges
and maybe that's why
the door creaks like
a broken mandolin

You have to give it
a bit of a shove
just for it to creak
open just a crack.

There once was a chair
There by the window
But it's gone now.
Like the memory
of the light.
