Hesitations Outside the Door (III) by Margaret Atwood, 1970


***
What
do you want from me
you who walk towards me over the long floor
your arms outstretched, your heart
luminous through the ribs
around             head        crown
your              a
of  shining  blood
This is your castle, this is your metal door,
these are your stairs, your
bones,
you twist all possible
di
men
sions
into your own
