Unidecim

The child untimely born,

from the death of hope

tumbling to earth in a broken womb

Too late, too late

the song echoes on

A child lost to time

found again, remembered

Strange tastes

in food

in clothing

in everything

Ancient, ancient eyes

in a child's face

Don't ever forget it

the things you have seen

Cracked and cracking

What don't you know?

What are you missing?

For someone so brilliant

you can be a bit thick

Unraveling strands

unstitched and snatched away

the legend's tapestry frays

if something is remembered, it can come back

The true imaginary friend

Arranged your own funeral,

fire and water, the very last

exit eleven, enter…none

Who did you trust most?

Walks right in, younger, bolder, brash

No.

We will not let this end.
