du MaurierThe door opens,
but I am not the new Mrs. de Winter,

Skeletons in my closet
Hanging on hangers with names of people I no longer know
They whisper remnants of the past
Of times that were filled with laughter and joy

Are you a Mankey or Monkey
Both are primates, both can smile
Though mankeys have no tail.

In the pause before the next step

Viridian green tints the water, it shambles
The exuberant stems of the lilies and grasses
