*Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyle and gimble in the wabe. “Beware the jabberwock my son The jaws that bite, the claws that catch…”* The twin scourges of solitude Death comes upon closed hearts, Nay… Cold Hearts would pray for death Close cousin to the cold heart, the busy mind. One rises with the other, in fact; Both encage… Both disconnect… Both starve … of joy Both take… the person…’s soul. **I give up, I say Love is not for me I fall to me knee Bow head in defeat** *Why do I show my neck to my foe? There is a better way, I do not know.* I don’t know I simply do not know Everyone looks toward me Expecting my advice It’s not here **I do not know the reason For the changing of the tide Nor changing of the season Nor the…** The answers Are as hidden from me As they are for the rest of you So do not look at me Turn and go
