|
In the marbled reception hall |
|
I received a three band gold ring from Mark, a token of esteem |
|
Running through ghost closet locker rooms |
|
To hide from Peter, who has fallen to the old cold stone floor |
|
Wheezing and emitting a seemingly endless flow of ectoplasmic white goo from ears and mouth |
|
A wind rushes through the hall |
|
Whistles as it breezes through the narrow slits |
|
In the green, locked doors |
|
I hide in one of these, number thirteen |
|
Barely concealed but hopeful |
|
Blackout |
|
Blackout |
|
I will climb this high wall in remembrance of Clancy |
|
To regain or re-earn my life |
|
As I died just a flicker of an eyelid ago |
|
The wall has many holes and many foot pieces to fasten to |
|
The wall is dangerous and this is my penance |
|
My penance and my task |
|
I did it once and they wondered |
|
Yet I needed to go once more around |
|
Up breathtakingly across rigidly |
|
Down easily and foolishly |
|
I endeavored again to climb the wall in vain |
|
And capture back my chain of lilies and remains |
|
Of lilies and remains |
|
Lilies and remains |
