Ma says it but on mute.
I look back one more time. It's like a crater, a hole where something happened. Then we go out the door.”

“What if your yard be narrow?
What if your house be small?
There is a Guest is coming
Will glorify it all.”

Joyce Kilmer (1886–1918) American poet, editor, literary critic, soldier

"Gates and Doors"
Main Street and Other Poems (1917)
Context: Unlock the door this evening
And let your gate swing wide,
Let all who ask for shelter
Come speedily inside.
What if your yard be narrow?
What if your house be small?
There is a Guest is coming
Will glorify it all.
