opening the door
watching
the rabbit
trying to escape

peeking inside
staring
at a glowing
something

life happens
on the outskirts
between
birth and death

between legs and vaginas
too much
so much

this chill
down my spine

nothing

nothing
keeps everything together
between winter and spring
a single flower's
throat is cut
this merciless cold

peeking outside
numb
frozen
hearing my dream

love
so frightening
daunting
closes the door.
