throwing stones

in my dreams

there is a house with too many rooms
painted in colors i don’t really care for
filled with someone else’s furniture

books fall from stacks on a staircase
floors have paths worn deep into filth
bedrooms are all filled with strangers

i am lost in the heart of nowhere
where no one ever offers a map
there is always light when i want darkness

and no one has ever heard the word

escape
