1...
I found this key last night
It opened up a lock,
A scroll was there to find
Absolved me of all lust...

2...
Adjoined was one more key
A map I had to find,
Pointed the way to see
A scroll which satisfied...

3...
Another key attached
Unravelled one more scroll,
Holding a hidden catch
The others, I can’t know...

4...
Restraint was lost, aflame
And temper forged the scroll,
This scroll bearing the name
To the key of seven woes...

5...
This key unearthed another
This can’t be how it ends,
I’m better than my mother
But this scroll it can defend...

6...
Itself, from what’s not right
I wish I had its gall,
It’s power over life
All of her wise, telling scrolls...

7...
Are at my fingertips
But I dare not claim them all,
It’s comfortable to sit
Cause I screwed it after 4...
