The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

What Magick?
What Dark Art?
Which conjurors trick?
Brought me to you?

Which card picked out
Among the fifty-two?
What sleight of hand
Set me before you?

What will come from
Such a meeting chanced?
The odds against it
Even from the out

Which hat to wear?
Which face present?
Which veil draw
Around the secret, sacred me?

What to reveal? Decide
What to conceal? Hide
Which facet of this complex self
Intruded on, denied?

Which of the fragments
Of the history that made a me,
Which of these will be
Told, this time to you?

What will you do then?
When I am before you
Laid bare
What will you see?

Which is the better view
Clear sky or
The clouds of me
That close in but pass eventually?

What will come of this?
The us begun will end
And me, undone a little more
Than went before

OldBirdee, thank you for that. I particularly liked the last verse

What will come of this?
The us begun will end
And me, undone a little more
Than went before

Really good. Welcome too!
