Fleeing the forest in furor wigged wicked wolf on my trail a fine meal was made of that little girl riding shakes the red hood from his tail passing a cottage of cookies two bloated children look on fat from their gingerbread binging lost, now the breadcrumbs are gone to my left a prince is crying no kiss delivers life he's lynched by seven angry men who'd thought they'd found a wife make believe castles climb to the sky trees talk in tenuous tones jack not so nimble burning with fire while bears pick through golden haired bones lost among hundreds of acres creatures from fairytale dreams those I embraced as a child have become a bit darker it seems reaching the edge of the treeline back to the world, such a bore far more foreboding than fictional forests I return to the woodland once more |
