Rocking Chair

Rocking Chair

A Poem by John B. Bolling

Feelings turn to voices

Archaic noises

An old house with creaking floors

Heart that longs to retire

A quashed desire

Broken windows and locked doors

Fear turns into panic

Dire and manic

From rattling pipes faucets pour

Insanity can kill

Ashen windowsill

A knotted rope with one last chore

Last thoughts unfurled

Rope is uncurled

Rocking chair crashes to the floor
