Changing Rooms

Today I felt a need

to change rooms. I’ve

felt it several times before

but, as things are,

my study frowns

and the TV numbs me

with bad news.

                      Ah,

here’s a lovely room

with bare boards. It’s full

of dusks and dawns

and the sound

of the sea. It’s where

a cramped heart

walks through walls

seeking to share a pasture

with gazelles.
