My house; this cottage

It stretches on forever

As I walk towards a door

The hallway stretches

Longer; always longer

Trapping me inside

Away from the sapphire

Swirls of the darkening

Sky and the whispers of

The trees that sway

With a wind I have never

Felt; but long to feel

A door that can’t be

Opened lies barred from any

Sidewalk; but I walk toward it

Always, constantly, ceaselessly trying to

Escape
