Avoid the bees bouncing about the lavender
Use the bird knocker
And cross the threshold
Night bleeds into day
shadows spread into darkness
The sun yet in its place-
Only us turning away
Cross the threshold
Letting the wind yawn into the hallway
Letting the gap between us fester as ember-eaten wool
Letting the whole black freckled with stars become our only greeting
Turn to me
