i.
A few inches of openness
allowed me to be speechless
ii
The door is standing.
The door is always standing,
and this time I lean with its maple-ness.
iii.
Without consent, I flew
a gaze using my sixteen-year-old eyes.
iv.
Immediately,
I recognize two things:
one, her skin seems flawless
two, herself is fully blank.
