I walk on
carrying on my shoulders
a glass door
to a house not yet found
I pray please let me not
fall please let
me not drop
it
because I'd drown
in the pieces

I walk on with my hands frozen
to glass wings
in the wind
while down the door in time with my feet
skies are marching
like water down the inside of a bell

shadows of other doors are calling
sailing the other way
so it sounds like goodbye

passing shadows
