Poem: Doors

 

Doors

 

more mouth than entryway,

these doors taste whatever comes through.

 

doors more lonely than a library has pages.

hungry mirrors of each other,

positioned to kiss.

 

one door excites another

until they fall into a room

within a whirlwind of shocks.

 

when sated from all the hurt and bliss

the doors flow easy,

giddy to drift in an odd museum:

 

smitten sculptures,

arrows through their hearts.

 

the arrows point to more arrows,

arteries and journeys

and many more signposts,


until it all resolves 

at the same destination.
