Trapped

This morning
I found myself trapped.
In my own apartment.
Inadvertent house arrest.
Thumb lock broken.
An unturnable knob.
The only exit
out a window
through the air
to the packed
earth
below.

Or
the systematic
dismantling
of a door with
unskilled hands,
stripped screws,
and the sweat of consternation.
