What do you think of this excerpt from "What My Chest Keeps Dragging Into Light" by AllPoetry member Sera9?

My chest is a locked well,
rope-burned, splintered
something inside keeps hauling buckets up,
water thick as rust,
hands blistered, bleeding into it.

A corridor of doors
iron-lipped, swollen with rain
I walk past each one barefoot,
listening to wood swell and crack,
to whispers trapped like moths behind them,
beating themselves to dust.

Her poetry is multi-faceted and exhibits layers of meaning in every line.
