Dancing Dresses
Shivering in a jacket much too thin

She wanders in mad dog attack darkness
feeling for the strength to step one
more feeble step, knowing panic
well enough to call it by its first name

The Undescribable Sensation
An indescribable sensation
streaming through my body
a sensation of pain
a sensation of sadness,
It is a mix of many emotions

In the fields of Ol’ St. Paul,

A sight to be seen,
A beauty to behold,
A thousand campfire stories to be told.
With the settling twilight
And the settling night
Comes the settling f...
