Dusty roads leading in circles.
north east is not a direction,
it's just another endless dead end.
heavenLy mirAges seRve to distrAct,
shamelessly giving perfection,
but only to look at, not to feel.
Back at the same spot as before,
but not a single open door:
locked tight without the key.
Lock picking is an art:
finesse, not force,
a concept sadly unfamiliar.
Eight letters in hand,
lost twice to storms,
standing at a familiar door.
Appearances torn, organ worn,
understanding more than ever.
What answer would a knock receive?
