the next door

this sight is silk, mirroring devotion
window frames or photo frames 
the wetness of the day ahead
is already foreseen 

where are the saints of broken dreams
and empty hearts--summon them
I see a familiar face and see
that, for now, it's just me

but did I not wish once upon a time 
to know myself, sight the filigree
this light? On this threshold
I can pause gratefully
