Portrait

Marks on the floor
From the last tenant
Books with no place to go
Empty drawer open to possibilities
Hand towels maybe
Empty walls asking for art
Yes… the art
Will visitors see clever colors
Hung dissociate
In an apartment in Hillsboro
Or a choreography
A portrait
Of whom I don’t know
Need to figure that out first

-T. Weeks

Eastern Pearl

The Eastern Pearl was my favorite
Half-broken sign
Cheap pool and cheap beers
Divey charm only time and grime can bestow
Now I’m looking at the place
Sign all lit up like it’s brand new
Who knows what they’ve done to the inside
Probably remodeled
Typical
