inclaudent :

what will not or cannot

close 

 

there are so many doors in this building, in this hallway 

but the only one I have is this one,

which does not work

 

The Bright Red sign that says

Exit 

is out in the hall, screaming at us

 

If I close my eyes it is not quite as loud

but I want to see your face, your eyes, your breath 

so I allow the light to keep shining on us 

 

later I will remember how your skin became crimson
