Have a look in the mirror
of your dreams:
All the horrors that you see are
real.
Lest you think the world is as it
seems,
Let your skin crawl, your frozen blood
congeal.
Of fear and fantasy now take your
fill.
Wells of sorrow lie beneath your
feet.
Each sun-drenched field you mercilessly
till
Endures to see your ultimate defeat.
Now let yourself let go your last
conceit.
