Door

I want to enter the house but the door is locked
Don’t find it in my bag
Pockets,
Hands
No
I try to find the key under the doormat

Like butterfly kisses I knock to only wake slightly
Don’t want to disturb them
Only you
Please
No
A knuckle louder now to get in safe

Circling the possibly open windows down and up
Don’t want to burgle just sleep
Sweet softness
Dreams
No
Trying to push pull pry any passage open

The one that leaves last closes the door firmly
Doesn’t approach danger ever
Again my darling
But I love you
So can you leave a light on
So I can figure out the way back to our blanket
Keeping the others out, safety first

It’s the dim light that makes us be one in the fuzzy night
It’s the touch of my finger, or yours, It could be either
It’s the melting of us without asking, trying, doing, only being
Leave the door open.

The last one leaving closes the door
Leaving it ready for the first one to open
