mirrors
questing to see
only our face
in their cracked mirages
and shattered dreams
windows
struggling to see through
one another
as we attempt to open
ourselves out to the
frosty winds of the world
doors
locking everyone else out
locking ourselves in
slamming shut
getting slammed shut
drawers
infinitely tall
full of unopened
chests and unsolved puzzles
rusty keys broken
in rustier locks
lights
trying to
glow and glimmer
in the pressing darkness
refusing
to be snuffed out
walls
some graffiti
some paintings
others ***** stains and *****
we are but furniture
used users using
we are but a home
with cracked walls windows mirrors
but we are a home
we are but humans
with broken minds souls hearts
but we are human.
