**I had a dream a few nights ago about different people (guys) trying to come through my door.  Some of them knocked, one came through (I'm not sure how) and I had to pull and push him out of the door.  I stood guard the entire time.  I told a friend about the dream and read her this poem after.  Her words of wisdom...
              "you can guard the door all you want.  there are many ways to penetrate a fortress.  someone already made there way in once, obviously there's a crack somewhere.  if one came in before, others will find there way in."  
I'm not entirely sure how that sits with me but here's my poem.  
it’s May 2nd
I have no idea where I am
people are
talking
my eyes burn 
            from
crying over you
you did nothing for me to cry
over
somehow I let
you in
my door’s locked
I lay salt for bad spirits
I light candles to pray
I burn sage to cleanse
palm crosses
            guard
              my door
 you walked inside
…
and made
yourself                              at
home
