SENTRY

 
 
 
SENTRY

The stool
stood sentry
to a darkened room
where she said she
would wait
if it took forever,
and it did.

The stool will outlast
the stonewalls,
rotting doors,
loosened bricks, dust,
and bramble.
It will be there.

Waiting.

---Albert B. Casuga

  1. A seat for all eternity, that will always wait for us, even when the room crumbles. I like it.
