Two Keys
Two keys he had,
one to lock, the other to unlock.
He had carefully picked the mechanism
that latched the door,
to tomorrow,
a future he imagined only yesterday;
it could never again be disturbed
or entered,
never to be burgled by his eyes again.
Two keys he had
one he threw away that same day.
Even so he could still recall the crash
of residual trash.
'Then a hush fell over Jerusalem.'
