All the ideas, stuffed

in the cabinet, on the far right,

left a bit, opposite,

the cupboard marked

 

Feelings; locked. The key hangs

      on a hook, that’s screwed

into the press, labelled faintly with

      failings; the one door that never

 

Quite closes. The big chest, success

      sits yawning wide under it, waits

without feelings, failing to reach

      for the cabinet window, frosted

 

Glass closet concealing the contents,

emptiness prominent, labelled with

promises, not to be kept, past a

      date, long gone by.
