doors



"doors"

I consider you
in the silence, 
different you think;

but I think 
no, 
not so different;

blood is red,
skin and bones,
lost mouths, 

denial lies

naked and bashful
in a world of shame
looking for home

wars 

come and go
the fallout 
makes us brittle

we shatter

are made
again in the 
breaking of us

we consider 
higher things
to be reached for

some remain 
cemented
feet glued, below

the notes
rise
like letters, 

the heart 
forming a body 
in words

that sing 
open 
or close
 
doors

(LadyLabyrinth /2023)
