Dorothy Surrenders Jessy Randall

Uninvited

You open the lamp
first twisting the faucet
so the water carries you up

into a secret passageway,
above the ceiling
to find your brother

the walls of the garden maze
identical, hard-edged, like
cement

you must change everything
take everything with you
try everything you can imagine

your brother waits
