after the decorator
designed the room, picked
the colors,
mauves
and red, a touch of grey.
a long couch,
restored to look like
an era long
since gone away,
placed on the mantle
the antique vase,
they put up a velvet rope
in front of the entry
way. stately lamps,
a muted
chandelier hung low.
from the hall you could
see but not enter,
or touch the new room.
old but new.
the oil painting they
paid too much for
because it looked like
a couple who resembled
them, on the beach,
along the coast
against a sea of blue.
