Entrance

sky,horizon

At this gate, we will not need
to show identification.
We will not need a resumé,
or a checklist of experiences
we have accrued.
We will not need to be well dressed,
rehearsed, or polished.

This is the gate of anywhere,
this is the gate of here and now,
and the one thing we need
is down at the very bottom of our being,
under all those papers,
all that detritus,
all those shed skins,
where it seems it will be really hard
to pull it out

Except here it is,
and we don’t need to answer to anyone.
Just rise up inside
and walk through.
