SDPC Introduction Valerie metaphor grief hospital death

Then I was in an elevator car inside the building, and rising toward the house on the roof. Jane wasn’t with me.

I offered to fix it for her; this involved my turning some large screws into place by hand. While I was doing so, the elevator stopped at a floor and the door opened. The lady left, and I hurriedly inserted the last few screws while the door stayed open. Just as I finished — or perhaps nearly so — the door began to close. I leaped toward it. I wedged my shoulder between the door and its frame and forced the door open enough so that I could squeeze out into a hallway of the hospital. The door shut behind me.

[...] It was like a sudden opening of a door. [...]

[...] Actually you opened the door out of desire, stimulated by our sessions and out of curiosity, but you were still frightened.

Who leaves clear memories in my head
Of people I have never met?
Who takes these trips while I
Never lift one inch from bed?
