*when one door closes...
then it can also be locked
an unintentional specialty of mine
some close of their own volition
others require a little nudging
leaving those that need be kicked
i've walked through them all
beneath their porticos of promise
over their thresholds of dreams
spaces beyond so warm and inviting
or ominously dark and foreboding
but entry is inevitably mandatory
a lament in keyhole retrospective
reduced in scope and visibility
incomprehensibly limiting foresight
begrudgingly resigned to redesign
wishes trapped beyond mortal reach
accessible only with a skeleton key*
