There Is A Place

There is a place I keep.

Only I have the rusty keys

that clatter in silence, heavily.

 

In this forsaken space there is a prisoner who begs.

He cannot dream but sleeps quietly.

 

There is a place I keep.

Only you know how to break in

releasing the prisoner, without the keys.

 

An impossible task?

For you I hope

it is done with ease.
