When the Ambulance Arrived
When the
ambulance arrived the medics
Pushing
and pulling the gurney in and out
Knocked
the latch from the jamb, which no one noticed
But
later someone else found the door open
I walked
across the road with a bag of tools
And
fixed the latch with a couple of screws
Easily enough,
a wooden door that opened
To
Christmases and homecomings and life
The door
is now secure, but I don’t think
The
owner will ever walk through it again
