Just before dawn…
  the answers came

And dressed in drag,
  they spoke my name

They claimed their place
  though none was offered

They stole a space,
  their masks on backwards

Just before dawn…
  the answers came

Stalking my query
  with falsehoods named

But in my wake,
  their lies would drown

The truth unanswered
   —new questions found
