They say there is a doorway from heart to heart, ... but what is the use of a door when there are no walls? ✣ Rumi

 “Autumn stomps around outside the house

like an annoying little sister, tapping
on all the shutters, kicking up the piles
of leaves you rake, pretending to howl
like a wolf. But I'm glad she's here,
so we can cuss at Summer together,
pretending we don't even remember her name.”

― Karen Finneyfrock, The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door
