a bandersnatch snatched my mind
12/11/2003 05:51 p.m.
this came of random word association while i was half asleep the same night i wrote caffeine spree induced glee. not good enough for posting in my poetry yet, but i lost the revisions when somebody froze my puter. ergh. i dunno why i was obsessed with bandersnatches that night either, i haven't read about the jabberwocky in a long, long time. guess it just sounded good that eve.

in the pain of the holes
where the ugliness goes
and the teeth of the bandersnatch
wiggle and grow
and the strange and the change
and deranged ones will slow
with the passing of winter
and death of the snow
in the melt of the wood
where the fire once stood
in the green of the grass
of the lost mountain pass
where the rocks tumbled down
and they cratered the ground
where the failed one cried
with the last of her brood
then she took to the sky
and she left them behind
to the bandersnatch watching
from beneath never's mind
in the pain of their death
and the wind's flailing cries
came the music to break
the world's very last chime
and it shattered in pieces
across the sky's door
and the blood streaked the sky
from east to west shore
in the pain, in the silence
shriekings ignored
by the people who passed
through the tunnel no more
in the crashing collapse
in the howling debris
in the pain and the terror
nobody could see
as the silence imploded
into the hole
that ate up a sock
choking adrian's mole
as it dug itself deep
underneath the salt sea
and the water that burned
froze in the night
where the bandersnatch howled
as ghosts tear and bite
at the flesh that once
caged it in mortal death throes
but it slows
as it goes
in the pain
un sane
silence
silence
calls
silence

sometimes i weird myself out. who is adrian anyways and why'd she let her mole loose? although i do have to say i'm partial to the bit about the chime. revise revise revise and maybe one day it'll make sense.
