Connective tissue of a homey type joins family rooms set just right occasionally decorated to tame front door entries usually barren when resources are scanty allows nimble guests to saunter past lead crystal mirrors topped by a matching chandelier courses regal retreats where blood lines flow clear outide closed doors strangers dare not ask .. and holds back pot bellied intruders stopcocked at doorposts where talk runs ruder leads the thief that crashes in to steal carries odours of the plate..leftover meals morning light is filtered, children cling to dreams caged canary lowers feathered throat in song parents begin to raise an arguement to scream pendulum on corridor mantle maintains loyal swings ribbon of parkayed floor accompanies what life brings.

What a busy scene this one is, Martin! Teeming with life, in all its assorted and sometimes sordid variety.  |

It reminds me of a dollhouse...or should I say a cross section of a house with it's exterior wall taken off so that we can see whats going on inside... I love your descriptions.  ~ homey hugsLyra |
