IN THE FRAME

blue room
with lights from the street
illuminates the shadows
the shades of previous lives
and their empty interiors

red room
in daylight directed from unseen windows
will pan like a camera
until sundown in a movie where
no people appear and not a line is spoken

party room
lives and souls of — fill every corner
without light and shade
in a vast entertainment and enough
food and drink to continue forever

filmic
each frame a continuous loop
encapsulating the other
