Room Pasadena *

[Revised 4-9-2022]

on a bright sunny morning
no clouds in the sky,
in the hall nearby his room,
i decided to drop by

behind the door (i) heard motion,
i knocked to say hi,
the way cracked a tad open,
a dim voice spoke by-and-by

“you’re welcome to pass,
but step quickly inside,
you’re letting out the darkness
which i hope you can abide”
