And what man seen from the corner of my eye
or was he but shadow
did touch my shoulder
enflame this old wound
activate my soul's alarm
cause my great heart to shiver
because he wrote
he wrote
he wrote
and left his dire shadow on my page
this page
does burn
I fear his shadow
that does leave me wordless, faithless, bloodless
as he crosses into our world
eclipse, unheralded,
editor, I fear you no more.
Erm, are you an old girlfriend?
