Prospective Immigrants Please Note [Adrienne Rich]



Adrienne Rich

Either you will
go through this door
or you will not go through.

If you go through
there is always risk
of remembering your name.

Things look at you doubly
and you must look back
and let them happen.

If you do not go through
it is possible
to live worthily

to maintain your attitudes
to hold your position
to die bravely

but much will blind you,
much will evade you,
at what cost who knows?

The door itself
makes no promises.
It is only a door.

Would you list of all of all your public pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
