Mother's Bedroom

In my mother’s bedroom:

Thin bottles for perfume,

Powder on the little desk,

Colorerful ribbons on her bed,

Snow-white curtains,

A pink nightgown,

Indian moccasins with colorful beads.

The wooden-varnished floor

Has a rustic neatness.

The ceiling light is bright,

A white glass shade:

Still it harbors some insects.

You can see the bible

Resting along side her bed,

Its warped in brown covered leather

Flyleaf’s hanging out.
