Lock & Key

A treasure trove
filled with secrets

A lock and key
twirling through fingers

Turning the key
demons spring forth
dancing in the light.

Bewildered,
taking in their faces,
their shapeshifter dance,
I sink further into the knowing
and cannot be undone.

We throw the box into the sea
and toss the key.

O, what these eyes have seen
cannot be unseen
so easily.
