on to the home
with the train wreck
see the smoke through the windows
where Persephone weaves
shredding the foil
from your cigarette paper
be aware there is someone
with a gun in his hand
she looks in the mirror and
who cares what she sees
she won't know what the picture shows
or what to believe
out through the door
love is so withered back now
and the wine that they gave you
burns your head in this light
I'm going down
lost through all of these pages
where did you wander off to
in the middle of life?
I look in the mirror
I don't care what I see
no one knows where people go
just before they leave
and fall through the papers
into your time
maybe you can break the pattern
Persephone weaves
