Title:
Rêves de Miss Applegate
(Dreams of Miss Applegate)


(A female voice whispers)

I can still see her 
Old Marie Laveau
Dressed in motherly blue

I can't pretend
In my scrying mirror

Looking back 
And smiling 

Summoned to haunt me 
From when I visited 
Big Mama Aurelia

Somewhere out on the water village, of the Grand Bayou

For she announced the end
Of me being single

And a time and place
Of happiness 
I still cannot see

Where I'll mingle

When the great Kamadeva, will walk in 
Like a proud Captain Jake
And tempt me to sin

In new 
Where's and how's
The what if's and so's

So, sometimes I stand dressed in my Mama's old white wedding dress

Looking in my long black and gold mirror 

Pleading to know my fate

In what year, 
Month or day

Will she come see me? 

Before each winter's year ending, snow
And whisper

This year

This year, the waiting ends
Josefina

So I can celebrate the overthrow

Of another phase of living lonely in Hades
But until then

I'll just go back to masquerading on my life's only mission

On my heart's beating crusade 

Looking for true love
Before I too fade away

Is this half existence 
The price you pay

When you listen to what mediums say?
