The Door

Behind the door, 
Lay your shattered tears in seafloor, 

Pardon my betrayal outdoor,
My heart wandered away indoor,
Through the trap door, 

Never let this guy indoor,
She recalled his spoor,
Washing the floor, 

Broken doorknobs,
A love stopped to a hidden doorsill, 
He laments in the dooryard. 

Doorways dispersed the doorstops... 

Crying her heart, a home withoutdoors,
Dead as a doornail...
