The lies of a lost refuge Still ring in my ears Its bittersweet chorus Maniacally spins Engulfed, by its coddling steam, My paths spiral down and scatter In its early dusk Through a canopy of vipers Coiled and seething In the high noon’s shadow That solitude’s lies Are crumbling apart And a new chorus burns…
