unlocked
the surprise was
that the door opened
when I pulled the handle
so few do these days
as a kid pretending to be
a hero in a game
involving dice
I remember we could run
into a church
for sanctuary
when the monsters got too close
I need it now more than
my fictional self did then
I need a door to be open
the soft light through
stained glass
the quiet only holy places bring
