Vessels
Peeking into houses
Trapped in 1950
Intricate lacing
Soft light and marble lamps
Their homes time capsules
Vessels in time
Waiting for their owner's death

@Jaynebug - Thank you dear
kinda sad - the last line.
My house is stuck in 1988.
great work
I like.
Reminds me of a sci-fi story where the house was alive and in control - slowly killing the occupants having locked them inside... I'm sure that is not what you intended, right??
@murisopsis - No that is exactly what I intended...
Actually the thought came from a movie called Moon...about a guy who harvests helium on the moon thinking he will go home someday...
Nicely done. A few shivers as I imagined this home....
Wonderful imagery pressed into this very short poem. Nice.
This is great, Nelson. Very elegantly crafted.
@Roadkill_Spatula - Elegant...that is one of my favorite compliments...on writing anyways
