since you went away
--------------------

since you went away only the silence
only the silence forms and breaks
and the melting snow drips
into frozen pools of bright-eyed dreams
the sun shines in great streaks of black
birthing shadows in the death of the light
as bubbles of despair rise and break
into the stench of rotting roses
that once swayed rapturously to your song
deep inside the witches cackle 
over their numbing brew called death
the wall of green cracks in many places
oozing sticky half-formed dreamstuff
leaving only slashes of red pain
burning holes through collapsing
spasmodically twisting
corridors of my mind
