Seven of Hearts
Oh Alice, where have you gone?
Lost in your corridors again
Warrens of doors
Infinitudes of space
Barely a child, and so out of place.
Alice, oh Alice! Where are you now?
You drew us a card
A seven of hearts
But it floated away
Like mist on the grass
Alice, please Alice, return to us now
You’re slipping away.
The wick, it burns dangerously low
Come out of your corridors!
Those warrens of doors
But leave me be!
I’m safe where I stand
Nestling my toes
Between grains of sand
Let me go, let me stay!
To you I am — forever lost
I am — I am
In my labyrinth of corridors
These warrens of doors
