The Door

The Door

When I envision the door in my mind,

The edges are a black that fades from the inner border to a thick black outer edge. 

The door feels like it towers over me, 

It bows outwards as if a force inside is trying to push its way out.

The music is loud, however that isn’t the source. 

Tonight, as I retreat to the bath, for the first time, I think I understand my mother. 

The door is shut tight. 

The glass is near. 

And the music is loud.
