Stripping Down The Lamp You Are Poem by Sarah Mkhonza

The lamp shade goes first.
Is it made of the finest silk?

Then comes the base. Is it made
of the hottest brass?

And now the light bulb. Does it
bring out the warmth that makes
one to wonder where they make such.

The whole thing bunfled up, is it thrift store trash that has to go back where it came from or land
in the dump?

There's no room for despair when what
we want is the tatoo. It is either there
or not. If not, it is not a collectable.
You wasted your time and money in this
purchase. Someone has the original, in some collection close by. Fix the fixable.
A lamp is still a lamp.The auction of the
century is coming into town. Don't sell.
