how often salvation is a strange starkened decoration

given the fact that so often it is only obtained

at the cost of indifference smiling past
or frowning at others who may be 

the very key to the soul door 
that must be opened if you

hope to get past karmic 
wallpaper that just is

there to cover the 
cracks but not

to fill them 
with any

hope.
