Never’s it been within my nature to pray But in the dark of my bed at night things have changed I once humbly trust’d my eyes closed, But now my spirit, ill-composed with reverential resignation and no wish conceives: A dream in red, red I picture you in red, red I can see you in red, read like a story With a desolate end Last night I prayed aloud in anguish and agony, Brought about by the fiendish crowd of the shapes and the thoughts of the nightmares that torture me: I dream in red, red I picture you in red, red I know you in red, read like the story… And you know the end. A lurid light, a waiting throng, A sense of intolerable wrong, And behind the gate those fueled by the pains of sleep won’t be held prisoner for long. Bled together, the night’s dismays Sadden and stun each coming day. And sleep, the wide blessing, has become a promise to me – A promise of the worst calamity. On the third night my own loud scream Waked me from the fiendish dream…

She’s a crime. She’s an agony of walking dread. Cuts serrating her pale young flesh. She’s a crime. Legs always shivered agape. She thinks it’s strength — but it’s just a robbery. She’s a crime. Has a glance automatic, “What comes next then anyway?” She’s a crime. Blood-cries and crimson teeth. A silent grasp for anyone’s reach, As tears stain her gritted smile. She’s in crimson, she’s in black, she knows why she’d die if she left behind agony; She’s a slim child threnody; And she’s a crime.
