The word of a lover.
It is the word of a hinge
That creaks to the sound
Of its own turning.
Hoarse and coarse.
It loves only to lie.
Lie and smile.
But, what is a door?
The secluded path
To the past?
A Jetstream of memories…
For me, it’s the way
That leads to a new beginning.
A new face. A new time.
A new lie? A new smile?
