Portals to Poetry, 1989

The sculpture includes a globe-like ball, and 8 plaques of poetry:

Poems:

• If you can find a doorstep
  Carry your bride over it
  And leave your shoes behind
  Alone with the night falling.

• If you see a keyhole in this door,
  Put your ear against it
  And listen to the sounds of love
  On the other side.

• Don't try to open the door.
  The child you were once
  Will come out with eyes blindfolded
  And lose itself in the crowd.

• The door opens by itself
  While you sleep.
  All the keys you ever lost,
  All the rusty keys
  Lie behind it unused.
  the door opens by itself.

• The door that thinks
  With your eyes
  Thinks and thinks
  Even while you're away.

• In the shadow of this door
  You'll play in the smallest theaters
  With a bit of dark gravel
  And a solitary white bread crumb

• Step up to the door.
  Softly, softly
  As if approaching
  A house of cards.

• Bare feet allowed.
  Dogs allowed
  The sun and the moon and the evening
  Wind allwed.
