You can live for years next door
to a big pinetree [sic], honored to have
so venerable a neighbor, even
when it sheds needles all over your flowers
or wakes you, dropping big cones
onto your deck at still of night.

He himself must be
the key, now, to the next door,
the next terrors of freedom and joy.

Denise Levertov

Delivered out of raw continual pain,
smell of darkness, groans of those others
to whom he was chained — unchained, and led
past the sleepers,
door after door silently opening —
out!
