A KEY FOUND FAR FROM ANY DOOR

Look here, what I’ve found,
half buried in the sand.
What door is missing it?
What room is waiting?
Let’s choose the house
where it belongs,
find inside our favorite room.

Let’s say it sits close by a rocky ledge
just above this cove.
A room one story up
faces seaward from a window seat,
has good light for reading,
a writing table, books, of course,
bed and dresser, bedside lamp.
Let’s keep the key.
Who knows where it might lead us next?
