Not My Door (2023 Poem Four)

Not My Door

Ceremony
Brings us together
Tears us apart

Hopes, dreams, connection
Other
Ultimately Unknown

Be your best
Facade of self
Projection of your hopes and fears

I set down my pack
You place boulders inside
This is not my door

 

(Prompt: Write a poem about the topic of marriage, without ever using the word marriage, and while also ideally avoiding the words spouse, husband, and wife.)
