Golden, by Taylor Graham

Golden

 

A golden case, frame of gathers & folds & pleats

& intricately artfully designed by an unseen mind;

smooth surfaces polished mirror-bright by invisible

hands to form this perfect

        golden

        resting

        place

recessed within the artful box, for whom? so deep

within, we can’t see the eyes. Is anyone in there?

Look close. Be careful. There are

          golden

         traps

         inside.
