The Soft Embrace

Embrace the room
the oval rug
the unswept dust
the two new throw pillows
the vacant husband
the floor lamp that does not sway
the spirit of the past
that holds you still
the neon window
the dull aura
the talking child
the inanimate things
that model your eyes
creating visual stimulus
the empty heart
that does not move
the lamp that holds your eyes
the pillow that holds your tears
the night
you can't embrace
the one you no longer
hold.
