The Knocking

In a humble cottage bedroom
In a remote obscure hamlet
Judges, jurors, rustics
A witness invisible
Unknown being, otherworldly citizen
Unknown to us, a trick of light?
“Are you a man who knocks
At the doorways of the earth?
Are you a spirit
Of air or mud or salt?”
Break through the dark
Seal of Death
Reveal long hidden mysteries
Which silence
Could longer hide away
Behind this door, another doorway
Speak the forbidden words
That fashion a key
Startling reality snaps
Like a rope of sand
Shadowy portals enclose
In unfathomed mysteries
There are no dead…

He spoke:
“Obsidian,
Spectral vein array’d
Leas’d with dark ghosts
That wander thro’ the shade
I am the knocking
That breaks apart thy soul
I am the spirit
Of mud and salt and bone
Abductor, captor
Of stones unknown to man
Resplendent being
With jewels press’d out of sand
Cousin Jacks
That wander to my door
Saffron cake’s the key
To the door beneath the floor
Onyx the color of their eyes
Where naught but the deathless lies”
