Ajar

The locks are unlocked,
and the old brass hinges sing.
This door we cannot open is ajar.

The small moon of its knob
is spinning at a carousel's speed.
This door we cannot open is ajar.

The tongue of its latch
is pushed out by a well-oiled spring.
This door we cannot open is ajar.

Now the stage that we curtain
is crowded with things never seen.
This door we cannot close is ajar.
