I lift the door
off its rusted hinge
Injurious for
the world within
I breathe quite deep
and hold it fast
Casting glances, I leap
into an unforgiving past

You were the stars
I was the shell
Held in your course
The earth as it fell
Metronomic echo scar
Hardly a refrain like this
Painful feet walking far
Through a fire, like bliss
