The Marni Stone

Dermot

Rhymed
In search of you, we queue we swarm
Who shall we chase, the pipe, the night?
And you, our rock our muscovite—
What false high walls to keep us warm

Besmirch anew rise up with ire
That spark to climb on heavens gate
We share your view our soul to hate
Don't envy those who kiss the fire
