Oh, Let Me Fall Through The

oh let me fall through the

fairytale's mirror

on the other side is

a freedom not realized

before and light and

castles meant to be

lived in I am sure

the wings of the deliverers hasten-

the trial of the innocents could

stand interruption-

and, balanced over the lake of glass, the

ballerina must always be true

and not turn in the breeze-
