Purgatory and Other Conversations - 1. Poem One: Purgatory
Purgatory and Other Conversations
bye Bugeye
I want to rent your room.
Why ? Why would you want to do that.
To spend the day with you.
How much rent are going to pay me ?
I got to pay rent ?
Of course, you have to pay rent.
Isn’t my presence enough, my body ?
No.
Why are you dressed in a dress today ?
Don’t you like it ?
It is so black and you are so pale and the light of day is all about you.
Why do you turn your glaze from me always ?
Why do you turn and look away ?
At the miles and miles and miles of nothing out there.
Because it is there.
And here in our ghost town.
Full of nothing real but those two wolves.
Who only stare. Who only glare. Who only dare.
I want to be.
I like your painting on the wall, the landscape.
My detail of a landscape, the one part I remember.
How long do you want to rent my room.
For the day.
But the day last forever here.
