Threshold

Threshold

The keen east wind
funnels
between the weathered barn doors
over the threshold,
where the chaff and the wheat
have been separated
by threshing
and a
cleansing wind.

Today the same wind
funnels
between these ancient doors,
and looking westwards
you cross over the threshold,
where chaff and wheat
are separated
by threshing
and a
cleansing wind.

Bread for the journey
that lies ahead.
