From Jabberwock jaws

You spring, your flank grazed

By sharp insanity,

The snap of logic

Threatening to bring you, whimpering,

Over to reality

Hysteria's thorn pierces

Your side as you bound

Through white roses

That demand blood

Of red

The trumpet sounds

Its final call

Disregarding your plaintive cries

For but a sip

Of chamomile

To calm the madness

And still your pounding breast

Your pocket watch's frantic ticking

Reminds you of the hour

Royal spears

Bar the way through foe's refuge

To disobey her law screams

Treason

But still you stand

Against them all

Her glass laugh shatters

The last of their resolve

But yours, hewn from stone,

Tears her leaf-thin heart

Liquid denial stains

Her face

Fiery triumph ignites

Your eyes, a blaze

Of painful truths

As you depart

With lightning form
