under the Wizard's house

Thoughts upon a Door

Corroded hinges
all that remain
of the heavy oaken
Door, hidden beneath
the Old Man's house,
long gone

Centuried gables
and cedar panels destroyed
by That Which ate Boston
as an hors d'oeuvre

Who was it
loosed upon humanity
a horror
older than time?

Termites
