Wrapping my troubles in dreams
I smash the mirror and move on;
trailing clouds of pudrid phosphorescence
Demons, fools and a lady of black
with wings as stormy as the sea;
tufts of black feathers drift away
Uncaring, I stumble onwards
through a Vale of broken dolls
slivers of glassy eyes embedded in my feet
Talons as shiny as knives point outwards,
sweet weapons gracing an alabaster tower
I grin in malice at the pitiful waves
... which crash again and again
on the shores of my illusions
