I lived in the archive of
His colourful, chaotic past
For two months
Sleeping with the Dust and Boxed Relics
Of his old life
The life he said he’d out grown
The Skin he said he’d Shed
His fashionable fox fur coat
And Hall of Packed Paintings
His One Hundred and One Shirts of Vanity,
Cases, and Boxes of Secrets
And there was I
Living out of my suitcase
In the dusty back room of His story
Where there was no breathing space
For My story...
