(A Phantoum)
My wife woke in fear
Tendrils of nightmare
Whisper in her ear
Death burns in her stare
Tendrils of a nightmare
Scraping her throat raw
Death burns in her stare
Echoes what she saw
Scraping her throat raw
To see my grey face
Echoes what she saw
The end of my race
To see my grey face
Alive with concern
The end of my race
I have yet to earn
Alive with concern
Whisper in her ear
I have yet to earn
My wife woke in fear
