The Key
By Christopher Roe
By Christopher Roe
Arthritic fingers of memory
fumble with the rusty key
trying to escape from
the lonely prison
of the skull
clutching feebly at the air
of a changed world
sinking slowly into the mist
dismissed
by the conscious,
the unconsciousness
polishes the key
and waits.

clutching feebly at the air

sinking slowly into the mist
dismissed

the unconsciousness
polishes the key
and waits.
