Recollection

I. Black, or the Summoning of the Harridan

Chorus veil with hints of whats and whens

She waits in the waters with fives and tens

Save them in their life swallowed hive

Sickening and nefarious vile and strive

Strike thee with thy dagger and blade

Old bible struck with shame and shade

Collections burning in fiery selections

Bugles cry for their rhythms and affections

The queen bleeds from her crown and scepter

Direct her to the golden eyed specter

Dandelion Pan and the harridan dance in flames

Await the bishop with his mountain games

II. White, or the Angel Defies the Light

Snow covered lawn upon the paths at dawn

Feathered quilt and sword in forms now gone

Ghost wanders the hall in search of his howl

Doves, wingless and strangled in a towel

Clouds and moons float in the stream

Admitting to the cotton laced dream

Shine in the angel's light

Call for their hands awaiting death

Travel upwards and be rejected by gods

Travel downwards and take another breath

White queen strung up in white laced crucifixions

Great Fang and the pedagogue denied any jurisdictions

At the gates

Real life awaits
