Emily
& Charlotte
(C) 1996 N.Thomas / C.Stipetic
This
moorland isolation, sleeping centuries surround
You
can feel the Earth rotating as the core beats out aloud
Cumulous
and cirrus, they float above my head
As
I recall the bitterness of everything she said
My
heart is somehow warm here
As
if Emily and Charlotte are by my side, by my side
Maybe
I'm confronting something
Challenging
my past, personified, reconciled
I'm
offended by my left hand in my right handed hell
And
I'm reminded of the Heartland reading 'Curer Bell'
Ancient
words that cannot harm you as they sleep beneath their
tomb
A
crystallised cocoon
A
hollow empty room, another makeshift womb
A
moths erratic flight under thirty watts of light
In
my final degradation, can atonement still begin?
A
last chance for salvation as the walls start closing in
