Keys to a home

Keys to a home

For every piano key pressed

the floor gives way

to fallen rose petals, floating

like feather-light droplets

from figmented clouds, muting

the bleakness below—

At the height of this pianistic peak

are depths of a silent crater, vast

ash-ridden, hardened by time.

dilapidated crevices

serve as reminder of aged

flaming fury, which once

spit, ripped, burned

through my core

now smothered

by accumulating floral tones,

disguising a fearsome descent

so as not to fall again,

to seek the essential

the only way to create

a home
