Once upon a time there was an old town
built from beautiful pale stone.
Over the centuries many of its doors and windows
were bricked up and lost, and only
their faint shapes were visible.
One day some children thought to open
the forgotten doors. One child pushed an outline in a wall
and the bricks swung back on some magical hinge. He giggled
and entered the darkness. Another ran home to tell her
parents she was going on an adventure, then at
the same door she pushed and stepped inside.
The darkness closed behind her and she knew that
she was trapped forever and alone.
Where are the kids? said one parent that night.
Off having adventures, said another,
What magic they must know.
