in a virginal bridal gown 
a masterfully cut and sewn chenille 
shines brightly with a fine crystal appeal

Her assistants work quite diligently
to add special touches and then flee
they decorated the mountain peaks 
using all their...

The 9 o'clock concord  flight that night
They were on Trinidadian ground

Your sands sieve through my fingers
The luxury is mine
You watch me around the clock
A perfect circle
Your all seeing eye.

Its massive heart was now just solid bone,
the kind immune from it ever breaking.

At first I cared
I even fought
I railed against
The powers that be
