labyrinth

 


What is it I keep in the center of my labyrinth?

The letters on the spines of the books on my shelf?

The secrets I keep unknown, even to myself?

All the potions that will cure me, or simple absinthe?

 

What are the contours of the walls seen from overhead?

How high I launch my mind with mighty escapism?

How bright is the fall, with light scattered through prisms?

Until you reach the darkness, the center of my dread?

 

Mazes made for a reason, do you understand?

To keep safe what’s most valued? Or hide what is most base?

In a world where both are the same, you’ll find the rat race

Questions neverending supplanting all demands.

 

What is it I search for? Where my Daedalus?

Who designed this latest monstrosity?

Puzzling and exhausting me

With many ways in but no way out
