Closing Time
every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end
It’s been three days and I still wake up believing I need to tend to Steli. This morning I was listening to this melody which made me yearn for her.
The wind blows
through the doors of my heart.
It scatters my sheet music
that climbs like waves from the piano, free of the keys.
Now the notes stripped, black butterflies,
flattened against the screens.
The wind through my heart
blows all my candles out.
through the doors of my heart.
It scatters my sheet music
that climbs like waves from the piano, free of the keys.
Now the notes stripped, black butterflies,
flattened against the screens.
The wind through my heart
blows all my candles out.
- from Deborah Digges’s The Wind Blows Through the Doors of My Heart
