Clues
Clues
A broken lamp,
the wires ripped out, like rope.
an empty street,
guarded on both ends,
a man and girl, seen enter,
yet none are inside.
A tall wall, a nunery
No man inside, except two.
Old, Ugly, Unknown
Pretty Girls, and not so
Trapped on their own accord
None know the outside,
Since the time they entered
Two burials, two coffins.
Two bodies, one buried
One legal law broken
One holy law broken
The grave digger home before the grave is dug
A lost pass, unlost.
a tall man and his granddaughter
yet nothing alike
An extra gardener
Unknown
Yet the job is done well
A girl brought up
Who knows no father
Yet calls a stranger so,
Whose father left her,
Whose mother died.
Whose caretakers long since stopped caring.
Loving a man, called "grandfather"
Yet knowing him as "father"
Carefree and safe in the walls of a place no man can ever enter
