Thank you @jenthorne.bsky.social for hosting today's #PromptCombo #Doors. I'm a bit pressed for time because I'm heading off for 2 weeks tomorrow so here's something older which I hope fits the bill.

Ephemeral

When we step
deeper into the light,

we are always passing
through the door
created by the death
of something.

Before I moved to San Diego, I roamed across my home state of #Georgia for five years with a camera and took pictures. Here is image number 465 from the series.

📍 Riverdale, Georgia USA

A weathered red clapboard facade features a centered set of peeling double wooden doors flanked by two large, barred windows. Thick, leafless tangled vines climb across the siding, stretching up toward a louvered attic vent near the roofline. A paint bucket rests on the interior sill of the left window, while mossy concrete steps sit at the base of the entryway above a paved roadside curb.

Windows to the soul
Doors of imagination
Walls to protect psyche

A house built of flesh
Seasoned
Weathered
Slightly ramshackle

Just wipe your feet
Before entry!

Here’s one for #PromptCombo #Doors Thanks for the prompt @jenthorne.bsky.social

The Wolves We Become
I was the one they never wanted to see.
A face from another world, who once walked a different street, same cracked flags,
same corner shop where we took chances same coins scraped from the back of the couch.
Now it's my shoes on their step, my badge swinging from a grubby lanyard, clipboard pressed against my chest.
A sigh lingers in my throat.
Questions, tired from practice, crowd my mouth.
The door opens slow, stale air, nappies, rotting hope, a toddler sticky with quiet.
Mum's eyes dart, voice stretched thin, the scrape of shame buried under blank defiance.
She's a reflection the mirror won't hold still.
And I think about what placed us here, the tilt of a moment, an unthought choice, me on the step, her on the inside, and the necessary words in my mouth.
Now I name risk. and watch the phrase land like a hammer blow.
The kid watches me, wary.
I do not know who 1 am in that look, a lifeline, a liar, an intruder, a good intention.
Sometimes you are the wolf at someone else's door.
And you can't even tell if you're there to guard or devour.

Hi @jenthorne.bsky.social Jen, here's my first two part poem on the #promptcombo theme of #Doors

	1. The Door

The door is open so what shall we wear?
shoes displayed as ingredients in poured
soup bowl overfaced as hot sky beware
bare trees at dusk are a half open door

shoes displayed as ingredients in poured
portal a secret way to adventure
bare trees at dusk are a half open door
step through as chosen bright footwearer

portal a secret way to adventure
follow the grain it spirals into soup
step through as chosen bright footwearer
flavours bare trees at dusk, overfaced loop

follow the grain it spirals into soup
delicious in mouth of hot sky beware
flavours bare trees at dusk, overfaced loop
temptation a new threshold uncrossed fare.

	2. Doors Of

skin
wrinkle in tides,

or move in layers
as a dress to be peeled
like a bell

backwards and forwards,
forwards and backwards,

until a door is opened
and new skin screams

with it's tolling tongue

into the world, yanked
out by one who wishes

to reduce pain in the doorkeeper.

#Doors as pivot points in poems & visions

Vigil 

After De Profundis (1909-12) by
Austrian Expressionist poet, Georg Trakl (1887-1914) 

Mortuary steeped in night.
I keep watch while my father sleeps.

Death’s stark, chalk-relief visage
Blur-shifts into candlelight.

Fly-buzzed, soft musk of flowers.
Numbed and hushed – my heart attends

To the wind tapping lightly at the door,
Which opens with a bright click.

Ripened corn ripples as the
Sun glistens in the cope of heaven.

With tree and bramble fruit-bountied -
With air wing-churned and moth-skimmed,

Country folk mow tall grass in the 
Hot, thick still of noon.

Making the sign of the cross at the Dead, 
I step soundlessly into the burnished haze.

Thank you to @emteepoetry.bsky.social for hosting a terrific #PromptCombo last week.

This week it's me and I want your poems on. #Doors

Doors of perception, toilet door grafitti, ornate entrances to castles - doors are infinitely interesting. Show us what you've got.

Doors

Behind every door
the unknown holds its breath.
The handle waits in silence,
the key stiff against cold fingers.
Always push inwards.

When those doors open,
it is not the room that changes,
but the part of you
that crosses the threshold 
and never finds its way back.
Ornate carved door into York Minster in York

LOCKED DOORS

Behind every locked door
is an opportunity for sure.
World full of true chances
has its own hidden fences.
