Glass Doors
A poem
Disillusionment formed a pile in my heart, contributing to the thickness of its walls.
The glass door on the wall of my heart showed in clarity the qualms outside it.
I watch on, reveling in the calm behind sound-proofed glass doors.
The atrocities had no medium to transmit into me - I remain safe unaffected, unperturbed.
The glass doors were in my heart, in my eyes, in my face, in my being. Light makes it through triumphantly, without refraction or dispersion.
*
The glass door shattered when a wolf knocked on it.
Ever since I've been trying to fix it, but the next knock was not far.
I painted it with a woody texture - the hue kept away unsolicited noses.
*
The glass door oscillated, creaking gently to the heaviness.
Someone has been thrown out once again with a bang.
