On doors and other ways to leave

The sun is a sinking thing again,

the slow drown

of a recurring dream.

We drink freshly-squeezed horizon,

catch the pulp of day between our teeth

and the tongue is speaking in waves,

is a salt-balm for the words,

ear-shell lamenting echoes

in the ship-wreck silence

of a swallow.

 

Just how many times

can a door be a leaving,

before it forgets how to open.

Love this one Check out this “You’re too..”
