Seven Doors

Poem

|

2024

Written in a small inn in Massachusetts, while taking my daughter on college visits

A fire burning in a fire place

‍

I have counted seven doors

Two to peek and one to pee

I'll leave alone the other four

‍

Hotel wings both east and west

Two to sleep and one to sea

We walked and waked where strangers rest

We'll leave behind these subtle dreams

‍

A room emptied of her things

I busied myself with mothering

Three will grow and one will leave

I wonder what I'm forgetting
