Enter

The temptation of
Do Not Enter
Is what led me astray
To wander afar
From the crowded ordinary
To a lost place of promise
That pleases me with the blooming
Possibility of what can grow
Between the cracks in the cement
And what home can be made
From an old shack
Without glass in the windows
That let enter the nighttime monsters
And daytime wonder alike,
Content with their
Truce of balance
As I am satisfied
With making a living
Within the forbidden.
