Knock on Your Own Door
— after Sophie Strand
Duality is recognized but not embraced
by the feminine, rather, celebrating the liminal,
confusing the unintegrated masculine,
landlocked in the absolutes of polarities.
The “inner voice” isn't confined
behind the physical door of the brain-case.
It is a call and response
through the senses
as much in touch
with the flotsam
as the jetsam
of The Way.
