Sanatorium Letter

from Cessation Lake by Dullwood

/

lyrics

Oh Marianne!
Our evenings of marching through the snow
Black stems and branches hanging low
Like scattered limbs of an amputee
On the unfolded wings of a giant swan
That lay to rest for a reverie
On her long flight home to Avalon

Oh Marianne!
From the roof beam you were cut loose
You keep the scarf that once was your noose
Wrapped tight around your porcelain neck
When the frosty wind gnaws at our skin
With metal teeth through every crack
In our vesture's smallest brin

Oh Marianne!
The specters of your agony and violence
Descend from your attic and howl in the silence
Of this cold crystalline twilight
Oh! do not heed their lures and lurid beauty
Vile recollections of ordeal and plight
To pull you toward the catastrophe
