| A window cracked Cracked all the way through. I open the door And move into A hallway of mirrors Fractured, divided My image distorted Colors blighted I notice the fountain Water, giver of life And move to the left Into a new life Golden haired one speaks to me Of things I cannot guess Come morning I won’t remember Her words’ sweet caress So on I move Into the next room Where the dark haired witch Appears to fly on her broom She speaks to me Of things difficult to embrace Again come morning Her words, erased I move upstairs The foyer full of mist I sit in the pew And see the old gray witch Speaking from the pulpit Words of wisdom and awe And then I awaken At my familiar’s insistent paw. |
