everything –
doorknobs, windows,
locks and latches,
back gate –

under the door,
tugging the curtains,
a prelude

ourselves locked
comfortably
into orbit

somewhere, someone
has locked in on your
matrices, logged and studied
each second, to capture
the liturgy of your blooms
i prefer not to know
with so much certainty
