The Grief in The Room

          The walls remembered what my mind let go of-
Forbidden memories long ridden leaking from the wallpaper
A gust of what-happened-here slips out from under the bed frame
And as you turn the doorknob to enter, you feel that familiar tingling in your palm
Perhaps you panic for a moment because you can't erase the grief in the room.
So you sit with it, and it sits with you.
