Places she has never been
places she's never been but feels a sense of familiarity in... droem* #456
she walked through rooms-- strewn with books, tins of tea, and tall vases filled with gladiolas- in shades of crimson, tangerine, and yellow
shards of broken bowls smoothed over by time and patience lay on tops of bureaus--- one wall clock remains at 4:56, her birth month and year---there is a way out, but she is in no hurry to go outside
surely there will be a small token, a prize for all the work she did as an understudy in a play about underwater species-- that never went viral
she practiced her part as a rainbow fish, her entire life with no applause
she believed in memorizing the method of breathing while underwater-- where nobody would notice how bubbles rise to the surface of an understanding-- in the depths of warm Caribbean waters
a rainbow fish was seen--upon rising above water's surface dialoge-- purple and pink scales gleamed in an arc, over blue green saline waters
