Go and open the door
Go and open the door

Go and open the door.
Perhaps outside there is
a tree or a forest
or a garden
or an enchanted city.

Go and open the door.
If there was only
the ticking darkness
if there was only
the empty wind
or if there was
absolutely
nothing,
go and open the door.

Go and open the door.
Perhaps a dog is scraping there.
Perhaps a face is there,
or an eye,
or the image
of an image.

Go and open the door.
If there is mist there
it will clear away.
If nothing else,
a draught of air
there will be.
