Knocking
Here I am knocking,
and knocking,
then knocking more,
while I ‘m wondering why
no one is coming to the door.
I’ve been too busy
preparing for a disaster,
but now realize the real disaster
is that I haven’t been preparing
for the celebration.
Come out!
Come out!
I hear voices cry.
Spring abounds all around!
Holy shit!
I’ve been knocking from the inside.
