Untitled Poem


Here, the unopened room.
Before me
this lock.

Inside it a spider sleeps as
outside winter rages on and on.
Delicate dreams twitch his spindly spider legs.

I am no destroyer 
of such things.

The key stays hidden,
pressed to my flesh
and burning.

I wrote this poem within the last year.
