Inner Sanctum
no bigger than a walk in closet
home to everything important
twin bed tucked into a corner
meeting place & library chair
dresser, of course
clothes have to go somewhere
1950s school desk tucked into the open closet
already too small in 1968
one small record stand
holding the center of the universe
record player
one day replaced by a turntable
air filled with the voices of prophets
Eric Burdon, The Beatles, Buffalo Springfield
one small room
window on the world
The prompt for Day 28 of National/Global Poetry Writing Month at napowrimo.net
is to write a poem describing a bedroom from your past.

I like the opening definition “home to everything important.” It sets up the rest of the description very well.

Music was definitely the center of the world in 1968. (K)

My best friend and I spent hours holed up with our guitars and the radio.

This gem appears particularly well-carved. Very touching as well. The stillness of a moment of history in one small room, spinning around the circle of machine to share music. Thank you.

There were some advantages to being packed in snug … less wandering room to room wondering where you put something down! This took me right back to college dorms.
