Door

Speak

in metaphor
white backdrop
with brown door
made of the most
intricate mahogany

search deep to
voice the voices
into this page, but
rarely do they stitch
into assembly

Gone are those days of
enlightenment
where old bearded men lived in the mind
satanically whispering inspiration

For now, endure the long climb
to the canon. Embark
from humble beginnings, make
that stride past the door,
with its intricate mahogany
in the bright white backdrop

and begin.
