Sky Parlor

poem by: Dan Miltz
Written on Apr 06, 2018

Peculiar, screwy, winding staircase
With a dull shine, from yellow dimming bulb 
Together with fractured, clumsy, flight of steps
Squeaking, as steps ascend into a shadow
Among smelly air bolts, from the dark spaces
Appears visible specks of dust balls, in abundance
Lofty windows,  grasping light emission
In metallic strains of cloudiness
Crossbars of the morning sun
Twinkle on capacity chests broken 
Close by- brittle trunks worn out

Rain spills, dribbling, occasionally 
Into the dim boudoir 
With old clutter furniture
Where dreams are elevated 
And the phantoms of the night 
With shadows, profound, around the quarters 
Of murky dim spaces
Comes moonlight full
Into the eminent body 
Of a profound, established
Adolescence, Sky Parlor

Wonderful imagery here. Kind of reminds me of a Noir film not sure why.
