Tower of Babble On II
©1992
castle
Woman in my castle high
Many caverns echo deep
Water churning into cliffs
Borne by thunder on the reef.

Wind so stagnant in my mind
Mustard fog of yellow soul
Air so thick I cannot see
Beyond my pointed little nose.

Horses fierce, they rape my tower
No more dandelions for me
Wave of shame at zero-hour
Belly-up I am to thee.

Soon I'll cast aside these shoes
Worn beyond my size
Escape on wings of pastel hues
The fog clears from my eyes.
