As I quest for my mother in another's embrace
It stings and it bites and makes my eyes water
As I fruitlessly wade through Oedipal fodder
While trudging . . .

the twisty windy road
that irresitable dangerous rose
whose scent is sweet with life's allure
whose vines entwine with madness pure
whose thorns do pale any dungeon's tour
without which, . . .

from deep icy clutches to tempest's suspense

a huddle backed man lives by candlelight
hunched far over a dark wooden table
with eyes aglow in casting a fable.
