It Holds All My Dreams

Sixteen by Sixteen

Sixteen by sixteen it holds every size

In between.

Six by seven: Graduated from Queen

To King, it holds my dreams.

36" – 60" wide, and 16" – 20" deep:

Drawers upon drawers, holding hordes

And hordes. T-shirts and shorts.

Denim for miles and cotton mounds.

Sixteen by sixteen it holds many boxes:

From the box that hums to the

Box that snores.

Boxes that freeze and boxes that heat.

Sixteen by sixteen - images galore:

There are pictures that move

And pictures that remind.

Pictures that are sometimes dark

Or fill my room with light.

Pictures that talk and pictures that read.

About the Creator

Rebecca A Hyde Gonzales

I love to write. I have a deep love for words and language; a budding philologist (a late bloomer according to my father). I have been fascinated with the construction of sentences and how meaning is derived from the order of words.
