Through the Doors

Everything outside comes from within

False peaches smell wonderful

Arms and clarity lock in a cracking window

Moments live again and again

Wild netted emotion emerges

A magnetic killer in dreams behind grins

A compass swinging to absent warmth

Can they be bright enough?

Options rain down their clouds

What sense is there in ladders?

Thought a room of dusty planets

What is there to pick up is what is there is to be found

As it waits the patterns shift

Left alone in the universe when the doors close

A faded impression of simple bliss

The trust gained from windstorms and post-mortem terminals

A thousand meetings barely remembered

The fool and his shaky knife wandered off

To the way out as he came in.
