The Poem They came into the world
soft as folded paper.
A hallway. A latch.
Hands that could not reach.
Who counts the breaths
that never learned their number?
Smoke wrote across the ceiling
what no one wrote in ledgers.
Open every door.
Open every door.
Some griefs are not accidents
but the shape of what we forgot to do.
