the locked door

Locked DooR
By clara daims

my dreamself drifts along
the deserted alleyways of my mind,
like a ghost
it wanders
through a crooked passage between walls
tall as my most
disgraceful failures

lonely, loneliness.
silence, SILENCE fills my ears with that dreadful
pounding as though i am pounding on an old door.
locked without a key
behind that door secrets lie piled up
like empty beer crates behind the tavern
Full with the stench of rotting dreams

and because many dreams have rotted


END
because
many will
