My Room at 1:00 AM
A poster from a long-
since forgotten concert
hangs off the walls
from the corners, inside invert-
ed. Polaroids possess pieces
of nostalgic memories.
Clad in pink, we smiled
Something I haven’t
done in a while
Too late, I tell myself
as I sketch near
my flooded bookshelves
adjacent to deteriorating
sneakers thrown haphazardly
on the ground
worn and tattered
juxtaposed to floppy bunny
slippers. Items found
with just my eyes
in the dead of night:
Harry Potter paraphernalia,
liberty bell keychain
from road trips to Pennsylvania,
messy colorful sketches
by innocent hands,
Still green succulents
Sitting on a white desk,
And somewhere in
midst of it all,
euphoria.
