the back door key

at last
i find the missing key
to the back
door.
it's brown, sticky.
unused for years.
but there it is
in the kitchen drawer.
i try it
and say please,
it answers with a soft
turn
to the right
and the bolt moves.
now,
to see that gorgeous
moon
between the trees,
i'm in out that door
each night.
