Trick Answer

How you enter and exit
The work, and then what changes
In between. There’s no entrance,

And knowing that’s the first trick.
That’s a proper labyrinth—
Nowhere to get started.

You walk up, thinking about
How you’ll handle twists in there,
How you’ll avoid getting trapped,

Until it finally dawns
On you that you’re still outside
Locked gates, and a storm’s coming,

Spider on the horizon,
Eight-legged black sun. You’re done.
