Of Lilies and Remains |
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 locker doors. |
I hide in one of these, number thirteen |
Barely concealed but hopeful |
Blackout |
Blackout! |
I will clinb this high wall |
In rememberance 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 need to go, once more around |
Up breathtakingly |
Across rigidly |
Down easily — and foolishly |
I endeavoured again |
To climb the wall in vain |
And capture back my chain |
Of lillies and remains |
Of lillies and remains |
Of lillies and remains |
