Boston Doors

I am closing the Boston Doors:
Though they glitz in the pale harbor,
I cannot be moved to remain.
Old City Hall is shutting up.
Tea party patrons shake their cups.
Cracked, red bricks litter the terrain:
A cemetery. An arbor.
Moonlight too sweet soon turns sour.
I am closing the Boston Doors:
I'll return on the Mayflower.
