shine and spell

The floor plans of phase one ...
the spiral and scroll curled underneath a compass
as an architecture of the mind
as simple in phrase and music
counting syllables
in a wine glass and synonyms
the square as first amongst fools
to symbolize the overture
and create a sign
the rest was deciphered by design
as passage or staircase
ladders to a nether plan and world
she first stepped into a mess
seeing first a room the candle light and dress
having last seen everything she did contest
wearing upon her crown
a jewel case and locked drawer
in all one’s memories
a box
and dreams stolen
by men with swords
