Your Door

My friend Barbara's house was cream with blue trim and PINK doors.  That's the kind of lady she was.

I am walking down the street 
between your house
and mine towards the bay.
I am trying to comprehend
the idea--as if 
anyone could--
that suddenly your address
has changed to 
Nowhere on Earth.  I notice
the sky.  After the storm, it is
blue and yellow and yes,
undeniably pink--
pink, pink all over, as if
the heavens have 
painted your new door
just for you,
and it's as big
as your benevolent and entirely
unconventional heart.
