situation of the green door

The situation of the green door

Beneath the yellow lintel
Between yellow jambs

Next to the window that looks out on the red tree

Under the roof
It stood during the rain
and the snow

Behind a mat that said:
“Welcome

home”

Unless you’re going out, in which case

Behind nothing

“It’s cheery”:
The explanation of the green door.
