Dedicated to Eva

lyrics

A wisp of whims, smoke rose on high
Its trembling petals etched in sky

The figure, dressed in night’s cowl,
Fleeing, bled from a cracked inkwell
Writhed into a towering scowl
From a once-meek cower beneath a stairwell

Passing, irresolute, through life’s rungs
With winding fingers yearning to latch on
For everything they touch becomes
A ladder from this world to beyond

Meandering, its mangled path blurs
But only spirits can travel in straight lines
The rest of us are all migratory birds
Forever bound to keep wandering thru strange lands
