The Room at Our Will

by Breanna Scott

The room flows and twists and ebbs.
It, as I, bend to your will and word.
Metal moans, frame reshapes, but has nowhere to go.
It tries to move, in applause of you and I.

Soon, objects lose their independence.
Each bleeding into one canvas.
I have a private love with them in this state.
When now virgule stands between each object,
And I can take my pick of which exists for all.
Lamp / Bed / Door / Box / Roses / Cellphone / Shoes.
Do they really exist, independently of one another?
While your mouth is on my neck, I am sure the answer is:

No.
