THE PAINTED PORCH by Fhen M.

at the side of the street of Campoyong

a space between the ligneous living room

& cacophony of the outside world

I sit here in the painted porch

watching the public crowd pass by

on the glass table on the tiled deck

reads a journal on realist painter

in his oil on canvas El Kundiman

a man plays a 1930s piano

& a maiden sings a love song

now mute indeed are tongue and heart

Krebs watches townspeople walk by

yet he remains on the periphery.

WELL DONE! Poetry THE PAINTED PORCH by Fhen M.
