+A dream within a dream within a dream
+and fell visions sidling up too close
+both woo me. Sweet caramel and soft cream
+sit cloying on their tongues, and I, Atropos
+to such dreams as these, find shears on golden thread.
+
+I would not cut, nor even could, had I but wished
+to sever this golden thread — and every thread
+is golden — and end a friend and send to mist
+and sorrow ones so dear. Dead! Dead! She is dead
+and gone, for her own shears were sharper still.
+
+And so she cut, and so they watched, and so I watched
+such love as this cease. I yearn to say that she returned
+to me, became a part of me, but a tally notched
+among the lost was all that stayed when life was spurned
+by the call of death — supposedly ended.
+
+So, she is gone and now our lives are darker for it,
+and now this world is where the shadows lie,
+and all the light that still remains is forfeit,
+and so much green still stabs towards the sky,
+and yellowed teeth of lions still snap at the air.{{% /verse %}}
