Tell Me Again About the Castle
Tell me again about the castle!
Please?
Well, it’s a far one this time, way inside the corner of the mind.
You may remember travelling there, back in '17.
There’s a chilly rose-pink sunset, but I guess that’s just as well, since
Things are as they should be.
There’s a tall gate that guards the tree lights
and a table set with candles
and a roast with carrots and onions
and walnuts wrapped in sugar cookies.
The fire logs throb with red, the big stones warm the great hall
The planked floor is spread with a soft rug and a knitted pillow.
