over writing

you've lost
the beauty
of your room
once so clean
and sparse,
by hanging so
many pictures
on the walls,
why ships, why
moutains, why photos
of lost loves
and dogs. clean
and bright has
become chaotic
and dull
by placing too
many pillows
on the bed, too
many layers of
curtains and sheers,
of chairs, and
mirrors. what was
the room you
so loved. where
is it now, buried
within somewhere,
behind the plants,
and three colors
of paint and
a border of
daffodils.
