Sketches of a Home in a Gray Filter

by Fred Aiken

Gray pieces of paper. Warped designs.

Angry teachers. Angry parents. Constant barrage of voices. Internal. External. Eternal.

Thick clots in a pool. Muscle Tension. Crushed nerves. Endings somewhere on the lake. Speeding highway. Translucent thoughts. City lights. Suburban rights. Lost ways.

Welcome home.
