How does a space built with walls
insulated as sanctuary
separated from the street by habit
of going inside to go inside
become expansive?
A stranger enters, looks around,
leaves, then a stalwart follows
to prevent theft, no doubt,
but about a block away
steps across spire’s shadow.
The latter returns with news
of nothing lost, unsettled
by something gained
like sidewalk stained
and forgets to shut the door.
