the sun comes in the door
flinging it open with light.
it blinds the eyes and
sears the soul,
crisply brittle falls
the sudden night.
through the openned door
stirs the wind
giving ashes wings
only to settle back into finer dust
back to the floor clinging
to the walls, to the couch,
to the pictured frames and mantles,
cluttered in wothlessness,
imprisoned by the room,
made dreary by the windows,
highlighting the absence
of outdoors.
Out! Doors!
Stir some foot within!
Kick this dirt outside!
to new soil, ancient soil
Fling it!
to the sun deep ends.
