Prompt 11 (9th October 2023)
The Door of the Clockwork King
Polished brass and copper pipe
well oiled gears and ratchets
ticking, clicking, steam is hissing
gauges, springs, a flywheel spins
a pressure plate proclaims your presence
at the door of the Clockwork King
No need to knock, the door swings open
precisely balanced silent on some hidden rail
precision engineered to a niceness
exact in specification and execution
tooled and perfect as befits
the door of the Clockwork King
Cogniscient of your present purpose
the King waits patiently within
the pendulum of his heart is slowing
Present the King's key then push it home
Turn and wind, renew his vigour
Then close the door of the Clockwork King
