A Door
The green door, that green door where Joe was displayed
was smaller than I expected. Bigger in my mind than in reality but you could
feel the memories in the wood and steel when you rested your hands against it.
But it was only a door.
It is only a door
Shorter, slimmer
The
green harsh
Paint peeling
Steel hinges rusting
One bolt
missing
Lost? no it was stolen
She is gone now too
Not a thief, never
before
But needing something real
You held her heart
She wanted to
touch
The last place you had rested
To know that your hair
Had brushed
against that place
Someone that was yours
Who could not every day
stand
Palms pressed on the lockup door
So instead she stole
From the
ones that stole you from her
One small bolt carried close
Resting
against her skin
One last connection
To the man that you were
To the
spirit that you are
