Clarstrophobic M(i)me

Another room
to cast my shadow:
Blueberry candle
shed light on
the empty places,

behind closed doors
with a cricket concerto,
old carpet floor
says it's safer
not to walk.

So I fly with the rest,
still only a guest
in the house that houses
removeable faces,

whose various colors
have faded with time,
weathered by the wind's
relentlessness.

This mask over here
wears the paint of a mime,
whose frightened hands
feel the walls
the ceiling and floors,

and it seems this tiny room
will give me no more;

more that is less,
or a question at best,
which is still misguided fantasy

feeling for a corner to place my face.
