Imagine one day,\u00a0you open the closet door.<\/p>\n
Rows and rows of shoes align,<\/p>\n
your shirts, your jackets,\u00a0your suits, your ties,<\/p>\n
and yet you fall into time,\u00a0into space, and I’m there again,<\/p>\n
amidst the dresses, skirts,<\/p>\n
the mirror world between us and distance forgotten<\/p>\n

into familiar and soft things,<\/p>\n
and when I reach out through the glass,<\/p>\n
it’s you there, amidst the familiar and strange,<\/p>\n
where we can walk out of the closet again,<\/p>\n
open and gloriously, wonderously and lovingly free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
