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?
