The Closed Door

Sight does not see.

Eyes wide shut.

Hearing does not hear.

Walking does not strut.

 

Feeling does not feel.

Heart full of riot.

Talking does not talk.

Silence does not quiet.

 

Mind does not wander.

Head full of straw.

Touch does not connect.

Hand does not draw.

 

Reach does not reach.

The closed door.

The handle does not turn.

Nothing open anymore.
