Notes About The Poem

 

2nd in Trapped in a Tableau Contest (Sponsor: Nette Onclaud)

Judged: 8th April, 2026

 

Closet Tableau

it grows at midnight—

a patchy mayday

through dry-cleaned silk suits      
                                                                                                                                                                 
of murmuring bones

whose eerie gossip

circles the armoire.
