Doors

made some time ago


Time measured in broken doorknobs
Four doorknobs ago, four and a half,

I don't know how to close doors behind me and you slam yours shut, sometimes breaking them permanently open.

The wooden frame that stands between us is hingeless,
if I walked away how easily you could follow
if you chose to go, how easily I could pull you back

Vulnerable we stand four walls and an indestructible door made entirely of nothing.
