Cream Cheese + Castles

The sarcophagus of cream cheese
peeled open unleashing what
spirits slept brooding

Ages of a lifetime in weeks
the body inside recumbent
and twisted, spread uneven
and tapped taxidermy shapeless

Green growing in the corners
crusted white alien origin
spreading, animated
remains left to bloat and
push on the foil edges

What curse befalls me
having broken this seal
what haunt will follow
unusable but tempting
the open cream cheese

Inside the castle, you will come to a path where two stairwells diverge. What you seek is in a tower. These stairwells will take you on your path. When you reach the tower you will rise from this upside down castle, back to the surface, with what you need for your journey, what you didn’t have. Choose wisely, see inside yourself, pick your path.
