On My Messy Desk

By naninina

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Sun-Ripened-Raspberry lotion An empty pink mug with a silver spoon in it A free magazine: "Student World Traveler" A black desk clock that never stops ticking Two English dictionaries A poetry book, full of empty pages A Japanese soup bowl contains sweets and tea bags Two pairs of scissors A bottle of Hydroxyzine Tablets Candles: the yellow, squared one is from a special person A wireless phone that doesn't ring very often A CD: Delerium's "Poem" A round white pin that says in red "Sex with Strangers" A liquid lip color: Sheerly Cocoa Two empty bottles of mineral water Unread Books: "Girl, Interrupted" & "The Saving Graces" Pens, highlighters, and other stationeries ~ Love particles sprinkling on the surface of everythingI think each article on my desk tells you something about me. On a bigger note, each of these things might reveal something about the life of a girl. If anyone would like to give this one a close reading, I'd be glad to see/read it. One day I will reveal my own reading of this poem. Thanks for reading it. Very much appreciated. Written March 1st, 2002 © on Feb 28 2002 08:46 PM PST   10 • 0 • 8
