Glass Doors

A poem

Photo by Dylan Freedom on Unsplash

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.
