Maywood, Kansas

The center of our world exists in Maywood,
Kansas

a tiny studio with a hidden bed and
a kitchenette

685 sq feet of heavenly bliss
where I wait for my love
at the halfway point

don’t ask about the weather,
the only time I knew of it
was the drive from the airport

don’t ask about the sights
I know nothing of
any sort

I can tell you the carpet is
maroon

the walls a warm cream

and the couch has
changed it’s form to a bed

it smells of cinnamon

my hands are clammy

heart racing

as I wait for my love
in the center of our world
of Maywood,
Kansas

You mysterious lady, with your continental assignations. One tiny crit in a lovely piece of work:

cinnamin//cinnamon

The imagery of the room and the MC's emotion make me want to know more. Because I'm nosy.
