TITLE YOUR PIECE
have fun-
When that door slammed shut
when that door slammed shut
and broke like the earth opening a chasm for the devil to rise up from
the echoes of broken bubblewrap-glass somewhere with a red front door
cymbal clashes of copper based pans flung confetti
and a fist through the red front door
still slammed and broken and all the other doors felt
the rushing gust skreeing and wheeeing to SLAM CRLUNK click lockshut goaway
slidebolt, black plastic, toilet the size of a policeman's hat, inhalation of an asbestos cistern,
a way to climb into the other cubicle if i could just get away
and all the doors shut.
nobody saw a hinge in their damn life.

LEAVING WAS MY ONLY OPTION
When that door slammed shut
I left that building never to return
Never to experience such a horrid experience
From people in healthcare fields
Not seeing I had a healthcare need
Sometimes the only option
Is to leave
Without worry
About the future
Or you will not have one.

Back-draft
When that door slammed shut
time stopped
and the sound of timber cracking
echoed loud
then the air seeped from my lungs
filled my gut
the back-draft from the slam
flew past my head
then sent soot from the fire
whirling round the room
like the same angry dragon
outside

When-That-Door-Slammed-Shut
was my favourite band
until you left me
now I can’t stand ‘em
the name reminds me
of what it was
and wasn’t
and even the C.D. case seems bitter
now my stereo is fucked;
unhappy to swallow the music
we played
you nasty bitch

"Hiding Cracks"
When the door slammed shut and the plaster
split like an abandoned spiderweb,
I stuck regardless.
Thrashed a little
then waited,
waited - turning skeleton I
ripped away boned, hungry and heartless.
Tore off the loose plaster,
filled it,
sand and painted it.
Still, when I leave, or come home
I shut the door very carefully.

Broken Bottle
When that door slammed shut
I dare not look back
fear, that you would come
back to me, the needle
and the damage surely done
No it was a different
fear, that you would return
I know you would fuck
up, same as the last
dozen, you broke my heart
the bottle over your daughter

When the door slammed shut....
It sliced the air with deadly precision
Time had come to pay for my decision
Searching frantically for another way out
Coming to terms that this is what my life is about
Knowing, no matter what, I'll never go back to "before"
I quickly realized... there is no back door
It sliced the air with deadly precision
Time had come to pay for my decision
Searching frantically for another way out
Coming to terms that this is what my life is about
Knowing, no matter what, I'll never go back to "before"
I quickly realized... there is no back door

Finality
When that door slammed shut
You know it will never
Open again
at least not for the reason
it opened in the first place
If the door open for you
It will be to a stranger
To just a hello
have tea and go away
That door had slammed Shut.
