A Poem a Day (487): Aperture

 
Aperture
 
Open or closed,
the world looks around
for its windows,
occasioning to go halfway
in strange appeasement,
anticipating an announcement
of something waiting
in the wings.
 
The walls, they close in,
embroidered with phrases
and pictures formed of words,
solidified, inaudible,
waiting to be born.
 
In this half-light we read
the tags on bright murals
celebrating lives passed on,
leaving their scent behind,
impenetrable but fathomable.
