Poem: A Small Comfort #the100dayproject Day 60


A Small Comfort

A space exists for all of us 
as a door that swings open 
when we flail into this world. 
And like a door slammed shut, 
our bodies so rudely closed, 
and when the door shuts behind us 
we leave it unlocked 
so it can swing open once more. 

The space we fill is not ours alone, 
but more a revolving door 
spiraling open and closed 
when one of us leaves this earth 
another one comes in 
our trajectories never cross, 
and yet we follow a similar orbit 
a circle that begins and ends with a door.
