The Room Nobody Lives In

The Room Nobody Lives In, Vanishing Act, Miguel Martinez, 2017

There I took refuge from the arid heat, pressing my cheek against the tile floor. In my absence an unspoken routine kept the room alive. By night a moth devours the sun bleached lace whose playful shadows foretold what I’ve now lived in the flesh. A spider mends the tears by day- too kind in its recollection. Staring past the film of dust on the dresser mirror I find myself unchanged, in the company of breaths and whispers, once again in The Room Nobody Lives In.
