Secrets
Secrets
The stone, the tree, the star––
they all have secrets inside
that I want to uncover.
I have tried everything
to get them to open.
Incantations, dancing naked
at midnight,
seductive songs until I am hoarse.
Nothing works.
They just stay there,
fixed, unimpressed,
silently amused at my
efforts.
No, they will never
give way.
Not until I go to
join them,
become a stone, a tree, a star.
