Knock-Knock






What to say
when you have
so much
               to say?

Nothing abstract –
just what you
know, what you
feel, and what gets
stored away.

The grip of the
mind and/or the
heart begs to
begin again,
somewhere that’s
like a forest to tear down.

(We build doors with wood
from forests, after all.)

That look, with the
shadows of green,
is a bad fit when
fitting in is in fashion,
when the steady knock-
knock of luck and life
seems like a joke, a fist,


and not an invitation at all.
