At the end
of the river's exhausted reach
where swamp firmed
into solid ground, there was a place
the locals used as a tip.

Christmas Rebels
It was about a weak
After that night walk
The unknown dangers, 
Made known, turned me weak,
I was managing myself,
After my heart was pulled,
From where it sank,

Through corresponding Orphan Gates,
Taken out One by One.
Adorned with a Tiara,
Sisters apart, for years.

The first carried out,
Feet unable to perambulate.

Glittering diamonds swirling infinite light.
With a gravitational pull,
Through distance and...

For alas the race is on.

My heart like a bottomless pit.
