Backdoors

Mary Peters



In the vertigo of

the bright Dawn

burning

her marrow as incense

at the temple of the day –

without fail –

 

shivering

with hollow sounds,

groaning

with hoarse sighs,

you opened,

Backdoor,

 

for the scorching sun

to spread to all

for it had to live –

without fail –  

as if that suffices at all.
