I’d like to declare a cease-fire
against myself. I am done
being tired all the time
from fighting a war
I don’t remember starting.

I’d like to recall
all the spies that burrowed
into my darkest recesses
to use everything they found
against me.

Is any armistice enough
to let the imprisoned parts
dare the sunlight

or

will they stay in their cells
even while knowing
that no doors could never exist
