the nightmare masquerade demon dancing in my sleep: i saw you there trying to break the chain they'd laid across the wending river you shipbreakers thief-hearts laughing at the crime powerless to lend my glitterice knives to your liberation held fast by those corruptive ropes fouling my efforts languishing, fade to cutting room floor the night stole the scene tossing me stage left with the waves battering me back to sleep
Powerful and fitful.
