untitled poem
by
Bob MacKenzie


I stand in the room where the painter was.
Ceiling blue with white
Down to where soft white
Hardens, and blue purples, greys to greening
Floor with bright yellow.
Grey stands a chair here and another there
Where a man can be.
The room is empty;
How can a room so empty seem so full?
