A sunset view inside this rusty black bars

my left held too tight — held long enough

right at rest, holding a leftover sandwich

with tiny bits of hope spread inside.

stood and waited if the gates shall open,

watched if a storm could break the bars

found a hundred keys but none worked out

holes are shut — even the right can’t fit

Rays across here and there, linear

come to hold, behold

stay to see, blindfolds undone — done.

is this fate circling around me?

Hands are full,

Look up, forget not.
