In a dungeon bright and cheery
Where my hopes and dreams all lay...

You're a need, not a want, in their mind
And they don't care what evil they find...

The edge of the world is close to my house
I go there on walks quite often...

Armed with all our pain and our misgivings
Love's found in the impermanence of living...

If I am all the things I love,
Then I am you and none of me...

Words slither from your tongue
and down my throat...

Spinning, hurtling, tumbling through the air
The pointed nose, the tail so bright...

I disappeared the other day
I don't know how I did...

I saw my mother struggle
with the tears that filled her eyes...

The moon,
draped in a curtain of silk...

The silver of rivers
The smoothness of stone...

Tears gather on my lower lashes
Threatening the plunge to suicide...
