On the Old Submissive FloorA Poem by Max MeunierWinter’s dawn has drawn as it must Soon to rust the iron hinged doorway The one that trapped the pointed finger Where all that was for only once Bits of dried and crackled color Faintly holding lost resemblance Passing sun storms on persistent Blanched beyond the pallid hues Now these eyes have outgrown reason Cried as many seasons shed In the clearing it is shown The frame has fit the puzzled pane Still my scrutinous eye searches For an answer, glancing inward Stunted by the icy blades Hanging from my grim reflection Rotted wood that mirrored diamond Stood before me once before Smashed these toes, drew crimson water Stoic in its disregard All that happened has become The stilted visions passing through Vanishing as though to squander Gathered thoughts on barren sand Pictures state a stranger’s case Strangled by the deepest lines Digging deeper towards life To fell the death long overdue Though I heard the crickets clamor As I sunk into the board Creaking as it knows itself to On the old submissive floor Scattering to reach remission Exits can’t escape my eyes As apprised of wasted matters Tapering eternal haste
