The Map of the Broken Key

The whisper of night rereads the objects,
transforms the broken key into a map of lights.
Every scratch tells of a lost threshold,
and memory unfolds among the house’s cracks.
I follow the lines drawn by the fingers of time
the lock becomes a star, the door flies open.
The path returns home, traced in the heart,
until the last room lights up and says you are here.
