People

There are only a few people in your entire life

That are as fragile as an abandoned house

Worn down, run out, collapsing at the seams.

Do not take a hammer and nails to pin up their rafters,

Fix their leaky faucets or put new panes of glass in their broken windows. Just simply open their door

Spend a little time memorizing their floorplan

Getting to know them, and when the time comes

Draw back their curtains and once

and for all let some light in.
