the dark rooming (a tonal drawing written in poetic form)

the dark room

 and this . . .
it must be a room
but no walls they appear
away             there off yonder
!up close all up around me!right here
is there a door somewhere
with a knob and a key
and a light to turn on
to make it so i can see
who this somebody else other
‘sides the one i call me

so i just stay on like this
‘cause it easy to do
keep everything it the same
like how i been used to
and just so long as it stay dark
wont be no need that i see
or that i worry ‘bout who running
in here alone
‘side of me

  1. Greetings Mr. Nadhiri!
    I hope the world is treating you well. I gave my boyfriend your card and he lost it. So I don’t have your email address. I want to send you the photos I took of you in March 2012.
    In addition, we want to keep in touch so we may meet up again in the near future. We went to Orlando last weekend to have a good time. Yet, our most memorable time was speaking with you! You are a very interesting and wise individual. It was a privilege to have met again. Hope to hear from you soon.
    Sincerely,
    Marlo Weinstein the Hand’s Photographer
