Behind the Curtains

by Robert A. Davies / March 10th, 2019

Peering behind the curtains
a young man discovers
trees and flowers white with snow
his room lit up!

Throughout the now past night
again the familiar scene:
taken by a stranger,
that one, others
(Children must obey adults)

His day begins —
in his invisible haunted house
the home spun curtains
on the high windows back in place.
