mantic the sylvatic
pathetic, profligate
frantic the lunatic
desperate, disparate

sea cliff oh meadow oh labyrinth oh forest
I dance and I giggle and sing all in chorus
the madness awakens tra-la-la tra-lee
and the prison bars bend: I am free! I am free!

raucous the demented
violent, delicate
flawless the invented
turbulent, decadent

trellis oh cloister oh dungeon oh tower
I burn on the edges of reason devoured
the call it comes calling—miasmic my plea
and the black mimic answers, deranged though I be!

raving the scandalous
imbalanced, moronic
craven the fatuous
angelic, demonic
