I try to walk across the floor
without a single sound or beat.
I reach the handle of the door
with heavy iron on my feet.
But something sharp is caught below,
a jagged piece of sapphire light.
It grinds into the wood I know
and screams into the quiet night.
The blue is wedged within the tread,
a stubborn thing I’ve learned to dread.
