To be the stringent strangler borne of leaden blight

I wander aimlessly in dream
Talking with the dead of Brookhaven

Our life, our choice
...A thousand lives, a million fears,
tremulous smiles and painful tears,
we sip the brew, which is now stale,

Wrapped in feast days of divine whimsy

that estranged from our lover, our soul died.
As the coffin dropped, we felt leers and jeers
