Straw Goblin



You spin a wheel in a mystic key
that turns every word 
from straw into gold

It spins past what you are sweeping
and what you are thinking

The light in your coat 
rolling off the static
twisting around the poison
seeping through the windows
losing count

I couldn’t stop
if I tried and tried

Straw Goblin's dry
but it won't let go

It stays in the dark beside you
you can hear the breathing

Skeleton key and amnesia
maybe I just need her
