L'aura del Campo

Only one exit [52]

Only one exit

         after Leanne O'Sullivan

So many windows,
so many doors
though only one exit.
He holds his friends close,
his insanity closer.
He hoards dreams,
but never share nightmares.
He lives them.
Only a narrow way out looms final.
He bites his knuckles,
pops his pimples,
tries doors, pries open windows.
He never leaves.
Fifty years later his body has healed,
but the only way out hasn't widened.
