transparency

i repaint the big closet
in the guest room.

it was too dark and musty,
full of secrets

and trash from another
life,

everything that was once in there
is long gone.

boxed and carried away.
i go with a glossy white,

a nice sheen
to the walls and shelves,

the ceiling,
the rail. two coats.

i even change the light,
a hundred watts,

to make it even brighter.

nothing gets hidden in there
anymore, ever.

no doors are closed.
no doors are locked.
