No story ever stands alone; there being a backstory buried beneath.
Even the backstory has its own backstory….and so on. So next time you see a closed door…think again.
Behind closed doors
where naked skies reign
without moon or stars
or sunshine by dayBehind closed doors
where silence screams
to be heard
through open windowsBehind closed doors
without moon or stars
to illuminate naked faces
or reveal hidden scars

The backstories to closed doors… it gives one pause
“where naked skies reign”
“where silence screams”
“Behind closed doors without moon or stars”

I love what this says to me–even if the moon was to disappear, the stories of what it used to be like wouldn’t vanish… That knowledge, would forever run through the blood, never allowing the culprit (and the innocent) forget the destruction.

Oh, those closed doors hide so much. It hurts to think of the pain and the hurt that reside there beneath a moonless and starless sky.
Well-penned!
