Roused rounded wounds throughout nightly escapes
And gaping fields of endless escapades
And gaping seas my moses blade has wrenc...

Mother Mine

...I see you breathe,
I watch you cry,
I hear you laugh,
Your my mother, mother mine.

She trekked ‘cross the prairie in search of a dyke.

The Knight and Beast

...I met a knight. 
He liked to fight.
I watched him run from left to right.

He had no fear.
It was here
Where man and Beast could fight and cheer.

A witch!
