THE SPARE BEDROOM
This is such a gentle and measured description of a photograph of a bedroom full of meaning. Love, Susie x
The Spare Bedroom
The room felt undisturbed and
Peaceful. By the window a vase
Had been placed on a small high
Table, garden flowers and herbs
Gently illuminated by sunlight
The sun had cast a rectangular
Shape of light onto a worn rug
and a comfortable old armchair
and partially reflected in a mirror
in the corner of the room. The
window was bathed in light and
framed with painted circles, dots
and abstract flower shapes, all in
the familiar Bloomsbury style.
There was ceramic lampshade
Attached to the ceiling, an upside-
Down bowl shape cast in shadow
