A forest glade
undergrowth is cleared
enough to see
and ask
What are these massive trees?
walk, looking up
and down,
propped against one trunk
small figure, stuffed with hay and dressed in denim
no face drawn
or sewn.
Going around another base
a broom
stiff and tall .
Then, an ornate golden key.
What then?
