Clockwork Walls -- Jennifer Anderson

Clockwork compass
Spirals in the wall

Twisting, turning, firing,
Shapes, forms, faces,
Points you home
And to your death
Swiftly just
And justly deft.
Clockwork faces
Watching from the wall
Sneering, jeering, grinning
Turn on turn
Laugh and tell

Or break the spell
And blur the lines
Between the worlds.
