questions.

are you so lost he asked.
play your cards closer to the table.
let me show you something,
and he went out the door.

a door in a hall I'd never noticed before
and a room or not quite.
everything is still
as he motions to a box.

it's all here waiting.
everything you left behind.
but these are not mine!
that day we were closer than ever.

jack of the briar,
whom do you seek?
your maker and the queen
who never forgets?

I ran from that room.
please don't ever ask me.
I never made it home
and he never knew.
sven.
