Being who he is
it came as no surprise
that he could not be anything else
but alone
Shutting every door
until nothing but the looming shadows
from the drapery
remained
Four walls were needed
Four walls and no doors
Nothing that could be opened
or brought inside
to share the space
and it was always my place to stand
patiently
waiting for a welcome
that never comes
