Ostiary: Door-keeper, servant at the entrance of a building.
waking in a dream
I tiptoe into moonlight
your door stands ajar
spilling yellow upon my feet
trembling, my hand reaches
out and falls in defeat
as the ostiary thunders:
“your exile is incomplete.”
Good job with the word pictures. I especially like the tip-toeing into the moonlight.
