Drawing closer to the alabaster frame,
I see blood imbrued around a familiar name;
Spangled curlicues abound on every side -
Dear Ophelia, remember all that did betide
In the morning
When the sparrows
Quit their warbling?
And so,
I will stay forever shrouded by these hands,
Veins will be the rivers, fingers will fence my new land;
No more melodies and no ideas to sell,
All I ever need is there at the ring of a bell -
And Ophelia,
She's there smiling,
With gardenias
So beguiling;
I can see the
Cherubs rising,
And our mother
All around.
