I could lay lame
In the clutches of despair
float hope past stone curtains
and try to cry out
I could stay the brach
Or run my jaw about her
while she whimpers
But in this frightful calamity
we groan and stray
and when the dirges sound
we scatter to be missing there
She has belied herself to me
aligned her shapes to settle
all the thoughts that fight
to escape from my worried brow
