The Gardens (Other) by operaghost
Down below the cellars in
the bounds of an iron cage,
there grows a luscious garden
on a lively, upward escapade;
And ever blooming petal,
every iris, ever rose,
is comfort for the prisoner, like
the dirt beneath his toes.
Up above the cellars in
the bounds of the kingdomâs garden,
there stands a keyless cage
locked, as it has always been.
And all the tangible flowers beyond,
every iris, ever rose,
says that the only thing thatâs real
is the dirt between their toes.
