[Untitled]

broken lampshades

on unplugged lamps.

unscrewed light bulbs,

on-turned switch.

unfinished paintings,

rivers unabridged.

leaves lie unchanged,

while seasons have come

and gone.

the fall brings a certain warm

followed by cobwebs, mice, 

and a dust monster.

he lives in the boiler room

behind sometimes unlatched doors.

he is quite shy--

this painter with bad lighting.
