“I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.” – Edna St. Vincent Millay
MA CHAMBRE
Terra cotta tiles
Line elliptical stairway
Ascension to where
Dreams occur
Nestled loosely
Between
Cotton clouds
Boundaries fall
In the darkness
Realities collide
Outside my window
Le château
Entices nocturnal
Wandering
Bisous
Léa

Love this poem.
I just ordered the book! Thanks for the recommendation. While I have not read much of her work, I have enjoyed what I have read. First Fig… The kind of poem I wish I had written.
