unlocks all the doors

quickly

dancing at the coldness of the floorboards
whispering a greeting to
the world that waits beyond

sweetly
we step out of our doorways
lowering our gazes to a vision of our feet
pretending to be strangers in
the cosmos that we share

burning after more. The Nevada sky was darkening, and we drove on, headed for California. Earbuds on, I watched the clouds and the stars while Jon Foreman sang:

How obviously destructive is a lethal weapon. All around the globe the message is clear at the sight of a firearm. words. by ~ehmaysink uses fearsome statements that hit you like a bullet. "Evil", is the trigger. ( Suggested by `arhcamt and Featured by `lonnietaylor )
