Barred

 

Like secrets

or a closed heart

inadequate doors

bar entry.

Worn and aging timbers,

shaped by time and weariness,

guard and sentry

what lies within.



What lies, what untruths,

what time changed

shape-shifted

property

is held prisoner

within that

that holds you

without ?


What tides or history

have changed

since last a key

penetrated those

love deprived locks ?


And, for the dark within,

are you prisoner

or guard ?
