guided tour (Imago
considers posterity)
and here is his
desk
or rather a
reproduction made from
a pencil sketch
that may have been
drawn by the
woman who was said to have been
his lover where
his head would have rested
upon the cool
dark wood seeking inspiration
and here is a
chair very like the one
he would have
actually sat upon
to compose his
greatest works
or to dwell upon
them
as they came
into being
or if they had been
written elsewhere
and here is the
window
the view from
which
his eyes would
have settled upon
as he
contemplated the empty page
the trees have
gone of course
and what’s left
of the sky …
let’s move on to
the bedroom
and to where the actual chamber pot is said to lie …
