That Where Unknown

I went to the woods

on a dank rainy day

to find an abandoned path

The path I found

grew darker as I walked

and letters were littered on the ground

The letters formed words

I could not yet read

but certain I was they were words

And the words told stories

I could not yet heed

but they hinted a story absurd

The meanings were faint

gibbous and queer

nearly but not quite there

And the further I walked

the less I was sure

yet still, I walked some Where

And still, I walked

I walked some Where

some Where I could not yet say

And still, I shall walk

to that Where unknown

and There is where I shall stay
