On Closing The Back Door

Master,
I yield to You
the back door--
again.
I am tired
of the lurking possibility
of escape,
and even more tired
of having to give it up.
I catch the vista,
now and then,
of this room You've given me
versus the nothing
behind the door, but

sometimes . . .

Can't You do something about it?
Brick it up? Mortar it over?
Undo it?
Because I never want
to escape from
You.
