THE NEW WHITE DOORS

The new white doors stand stark on the ground floor,
a passage to the heart in these walls here.
The contrast of white/white is too severe—
this house is not deserving of these doors,
and not of you, who presents such a gift,
who blesses this unworthy, dirty thing.
It thanks you for the beauty that you bring,
and in its thanks, only the slightest rift.
Yes, thank you very much for these grand doors,
for which it never asked, nor does it want.
You tore out treasures in their disrepair
and left these wizened walls empty and sore
to force in beauty which to them is naught,
hoping to deconstruct your way to care.
