Imagine a trip from
Your doorstep to town
Something you do
Often enough
Orientating yourself
On familiar markers.
Another trip from home
To a famous spa
A welcome break to
Daily chores
A cut into the ordinary
Some new surroundings
New travel mates for
20 days + one.
The poet has left his personality
At the common dining table
Where frequent laughs are
Pinned to the various chests
Of his three female companions
With variations in languages
But also some decent conversation
With a room neighbour
Who values the cultural history
Of the past few hundred years.
While the poet in his room 4105
He shortened to 1
Has a domain
That he retreats to
Like a wild cat in the forest of
Rooms
And let the free will amble
Thro’ the gardens
At the edge of Eden’s
Healing waters.
