The myths of salvation
and sin, and grace,
though seeming true,
weren't
nor is there
some great thing
among many
to seek
as if trapped in the dark
of a many doored house
and sitting quietly
these sorts of words
fade back
to what
they just
always were
not keys but the steel
from which cages are made
as I wonder
how it could be
that without the cage
there is an outside
at all
