I think that I used
To rush out that door, bolting
>From the inside, and

Hitting the air, cool
And full of the smell of still-
Melting ice, and there,

There, the moment

  In streaks of chained flashes
  Of a sun still casting faint and thin,
  All the steps forgotten

The moment,

  The door left open
  The inside always light blue
  Steps on still-hard ground

But now that ritual's perfected
The air is the same or worse

  The night neighborhood is a day-darkened museum,
  The parties have glass walls and imperceptible conversation.

  The night is perfectly safe,
  You could sleep out there.

Now that the door's never the thing
Midday is vision coloured with fatigue.
