ix)

the mountain had
opened
and swallowed

them all
and closed
and they were

seen never
again
only

the blind
deaf
and lame

remained..
hamelyn
a synonym

for treachery
and deceit
fell asleep

to dream
and in their
dreams

their children
stood
in supplication

a mute question
in their sadness
and betrayal..

and what became of
the pied piper
and jess..?

there were
rumour
and unsubstantiated

sightings
here and there
the hamlet bridg

held it´s tongue..
love will find
a way

peter married hilda
hooney
mooned

in ibiza and
lived happy
for ever..
