Doors, by Annabel Jane Palling

Look

Doors will open themselves before you

And coax you gently to Step Through,

Take A Risk, Try Something New.

Even though that New Something

Has always been there, ajar in your heart.

And false doors will yawn to distract
From that one unlatched gate that leads

Somewhere you have always been

When there’s no one around.

That you slam shut with choices that

Don’t seem like choices, and bar with

Things and Thoughts and People

Because if you run through, you might

Be seen or get stuck or disappear.

And you think to yourself

That locks can be changed

But people cannot.
