Heedless of the words Thrown into the abyss Like forgotten dreams Songs wander lost To the swallowed wind A shout, a wallowing shriek The ecstasy drumming to the head Mouths foaming, ears splitting Bare feet scraping against the concrete She wanders along the wakes of nigh Feeling these imaginary creatures Seeing what they have done to her Yet not knowing what else to do These frights happening to her, She sometimes have no recollection Or consciousness meanwhile on blur Like a lavender wallflower --or malachite, cerulean, and maroon-- Never let her wander alone, By herself under the glare of the moon
