Where The Watchers Dwell

What if I handed you a key?

Told you all my secrets to tell
In the place where the Watchers dwell

What if the padlock crumbled?

Dust dissolved in flecks of fractals
In the place where the Watchers dwell

What if the pages fell open?

Crackling, paper clings to itself
In the place where the Watchers dwell

What if you saw the ink?

Scrawled so curiously across the paper
In the place where the Watchers dwell

What if you read it; what if you smiled at the story?

If you do, let the pages lie open
If you do, drink the words like wine
If you do, take a step into my realm
My unfolding story
If you don’t, close the book
The lock will heal
Regrow
In time Happy Birthday
In the place where the Watchers dwell Honor Torrance
