To Tori's Damage

Enter You
but not you--yourself

and then you do
enter

careful
and a stroke and twist
and you stand to full height
but no shadow except the ones
of
multicolored lights

and a soften to hardness
but whisper the wind of Indian's winter
and a harden to softness

sitting and standing
reserved--arms outstretched towards the angry gods
that caused it
but sit again to see
yourself
enter

exit
