INWOOD ★ INDIANA ★ A REAL SMALL TOWN ★ InwoodStories & poems from a real small town

Opaque

thrust into the sudden trance of eternity

pale goddess, lost daughter,
come with us

we of the swamp's glow
we of the black-robed phantom in the hills
we of the night

choose your fantasies & your life among us
out here there are no chains
we are free from disguise

run with us
we call on you to dance

eclipsed is the view, shadowless the fate
