Door

Door

Door

Why do you touch me to the core?

Green of course!

If we can be addicted to colours

Then for me there is no cure

But there is something more

Beneath a tender arch

Framing flaking green paint

Set in a wall losing its brown coat

Steadfast guardian of memories

Soaked

In the beauty of its own demise
