Doors
Doors
I met my death
with kerosene lamps
a flood of lights
and dancing shadows
the creaking of floorboards
dust collector
gathering all the nations
and these words
are the tantamount to nothing
in the insufferable heat
to wake
to all lies as you lie down
an urgency
to break wishbones
I always got the short end
dread hanging like icicles frozen on your cloak
day after day
planning, scheming
the sharp, severing every finite calculation
feasting on partial birthed fleshed revelations
the ugly truth
in plain sight
our trajectories
are encircling like vultures
carrion for fresh meat
ready to eat
moist choices
blue, red, green doors
surround me
their brass handles to grasp
they're refreshingly cold and solid
which one do we choose?
Or do these doorways
implant some energy which expands, revolves, and embeds in us
which cannot be forgotten, but to be emulating our dreams
to remind us of
a hope (or folly)
a brightly wavering anthem
sung or spoken
Which should I open?
