where hermits go to shop

 

A hermit strolls in solitude,

Through aisles of spectral hush;

Each item glows in lyric touch—

A loaf, a pear, a thought subdued.

 

A breeze of absence wafts the shelves,

As jars reflect the moonlit haze;

Soup cans muse their silent ways,

Their labels hum from dusty elves.

 

Walls fold into a dreamlike sway,

Perspective bends, aisles intertwine;

Where groceries dwell in lines divine,

A hermit shops, the world away.
