Faulty Furniture

The waters

Are calm

Until

My fingers

 

Stroke

The quiet

Surface.

Something

 

Stirs.

Something

Moves.

Wind

 

Kicks

Her shoes off,

And

Splashes

 

Feverishly

In the

Swirls.

Bent branch

 

Gasps,

Falling,

And like

Deer

 

Wind

And water

Cease

Their play,

 

Natural

Vibrations

Disturbed

By faulty

 

Furniture.

furniture is inside not out...i like the clash here, how the human disturbs nature...at first one with it...and then playing too hard, tripping over the branch..and everything stops to stare...

naturalness disturbed by something that doesn't fit...

like a piece of furniture that doesn't go with the rest of the room.

ah yes, wonderful piece.
