![]() Basement FloorA Poem by Elana Exploring
This concrete painted floor,
It is so dirty. Basement surfing has is hurts I don't like you floor Why do you have to be so filthy? Holes and crannies filled with dirt. Millipedes from your crevices, spiders from your cracks? Those little bugs with the stingers freak me out the worst, I have never seen them anywhere else but on you Even with all of your dirt and slant you lay the foundation to my haven My one safe place in all the world The tangible one It is where my love lives My source of strength and comfort The place I stay here without him My heart stays without him too He comes back on Saturday To home that is I don't know if and when my heart will be his home again His full one that is That is painful floor You do mock me, with your dirty imperfection, something I can barely stand You don't care about true love Or brooms You show me what my life is A dirty shaky crooked base resisting cleanliness or repair The things around aren't all quite that bad but tainted by your stare It all has to be torn up just like you floor I wonder who will be first? © 2013 Elana ExploringAuthor's Note
