a door in the day
for Lou Smith
none thought to lock
bring the bones
come flesh
do come in
you’re welcome
say I, the inhabited fancy
step through the city
take this pill, melt
a fall of sunlight here
just where the day grows over
come seasons, turn
roller skates
prepare me a piano please
or any strings at all
not to show you
just to say
the only way
to make the door
is to open it
and step in
