side door


the light is coming undone 
the wind blows hard and hot 
an archetype
a temptation 
a floatation 
and I’m preparing to watch the rest

suicide  
this other person’s story
the click of light
the burn of sun

the getting over of someone
the getting under them too

the finding space in the social 
perimeter 
the parameter 
wiggling the dagger 
finding the millimeter 
of humanness

some

try to pierce 

some 

arrive

and the wind is still hot while it belies the answer of a big, big question:
 
can i come in now?
should i use the side door?
