Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
but will not be strong enough.
(Lk 13:24)
The Door
We hide inside
and lock the door
but slip the key
outside
expectant then
we wait and pray
that some or one
will find
the clue and fit
the key to turn
the lock and push
the door
to fling it wide
to tear it down
that door we built
or bought
and closed and locked
from need—from a
necessity
inside
a need we feel
but can’t define
like air we breathe
or die
and so we hide
and lock the door
but slip the key
outside
