Taking the PPC4 - 52 Weeks of Poetry

Prompt 35 (25th March 2024)

Two Doors

Such old stone surrounds the solid doors
suggesting some ancient separation
a step (or four) up, to be welcomed
to someone substantial
who's status and social standing are superior
or (we suppose)
to stairs down to servant's quarters
subterranean
signalling some submission
though sensible of the stipulations
solicited by a higher class
striving to succeed, are
secretly steadfast in their own
solid standing.
