Objects de Art

Material things I own

are external manifestations

of innermost desires

and forbidden longings

 

overlapping, clashing, competing

to find the truest version

I try so hard to conceal

inside the skull and bones

 

beauty in a jar

vanity of designer togs

play hide-and-seek

with the ugliness of childhood

 

The high end furniture

objects de art

effectively cover

the contorted self

 

hollowness acquires

gigantic proportions

to occupy physical space

in subconscious expressions
