Hesitations Outside the Door (III) by Margaret Atwood, 1970
***
What do you want from me
you who walk towards me over the l o n g f l o o r
your arms o u t s t r e t c h e d, your heart
luminous through the ribs
around your head a crown
of shining blood
This is your castle, this is your metal door,
these are your stairs, your
bones, you twist all possible
dimensions into your own
