Within/Without
your marriage a wreck
you seek to escape at last
flee to the true world
don’t open the door
think of this as a warning
from someone who lived this life
please take me seriously
or do not listen
see for yourself what’s waiting
turn the knob and push
the storm engulfing you here
is the storm waiting outside
(after the untitled and undated painting of a muralled room by Juan Brufal)
