I have finally found a door in this wall
that for years has been hidden from view
behind ivy that’s grown and spread and entwined
with those nettles that bind and sting too.
The paint has long peeled from its panels below
but despite all the rotting of wood
the hinges hold strong from behind the cobwebs
and the door latch still works as it should.
It must have been here since the wall first appeared
in the days of my high school and grounds
yet with one simple push this door’s opened up
to a world I once thought out of bounds.
