#144 - because a door was closed

25.5.20

144

because a door was closed

it’s easy to say

I took the tree up

caught a cloud

went the other way

because the portal went

I ran towards and from the truth  

I was pursued

and made these favourite fists a home

stood saluting there

around around the breathless buzz

sun shone the wonders all arrayed  

because this one door closed

I sent a cv off 

to reinvent all selves

I was waking to light 

however little all there was

just the least glimpse revealed

cloud of insects, train

there’s no way back into the dream

I creature it outside    

wind slipped in around still

must have been my breath

and little wrestle with

who won?

often mistake hours for each other

generalize from there

a door into the day

my window in the woods

no one reads this writing but me

a here-I-am and it’s-my-turn

a sparse mythology

because a door was

someone snuck under

ghosts came through

a window shut

still keep a look out

it was so long closed

I lost the key

I rusted in the lock

no one could see in that way

from paradise by single sin

lockout laws apply

did the bitterness

got over it

I saw the empty air

and knew

better out than in
