Asylum

Oz Hardwick

We walk in soft shoes on fragile floors,
doors locked to left and right.

Embarrassed eyes avoid each other
and ourselves. There are no mirrors.

Empty shelves, warped with the weight
of absence, warn: do not touch.

Sometimes we recall who left us here,
how long ago and why. But

it’s better to forget, to accept our state,
repeat the mantra: we are safe here,

surrounded by stained glass birds,
watched over by a clock with no hands.
