A warning to the curious

A warning to the curious

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Encroaching memories
a legend of gargoyles
looking on stoned,
a gathering of thoughts
remembered by antiquarians
transfixed on the horrors
unexplained on secrets
buried under grey slabs
their skulls bear eternity.
The tides of curiosities
wash up upon the shores
footprints in remembrance.
