you take a trip <br />back to the place where meaning was once <br />there. An empty room that you left. <br />Now someone lives there and he does not know your name, <br />there will be a brief introduction <br />of who you are and what you do for a living <br />and he will ask why you have come back <br />you say that you are just passing by <br />you are looking for the word <br />the spark in your heart <br />somewhere on the study table <br />or on the book shelf <br />a poem, some little notes on the wall, <br />there is nothing there anymore <br />exept the scent of the nearby comfort room <br />beside your room <br />that stink that made you leave <br />it was that which made you pass by <br />as you were telling the new tenant.<br /><br />RIC S.
