The Unexpected


"The Unexpected" 

The unexpected
came knocking at the door
bed time stories
became the law

a momentary lapse of reason
rolled the sweet dream over 
and stole the pulchritudinous child 
hiding under stolen cover

cereal killer
spoon fed 
the hard boiled egg
soft salt and pepper

listening to echoes ...
pulling loaded triggers


(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)





Track 1
Track 6 
"Meddle", Pink Floyd
