I too dream of love's austere and lovely offices
my dear Mr. Hayden who
1) is so very melancholy
3) yet each dream I blindly dream
for me remains forever
in black and white
can you guess why?
Long ago my father was lain to die
4) due to that fact my frail father
I never knew
his temper is now my own
his legacy yet
2) folly
5) I breath and live thanks to the receive meant of his
blood and I watch intently as all his dreams pass
through me like the wind on a chilly night
6) feeling my imagination giving me a seasoned see er's
sight
7) though for all of 26 months he knew me
him I can not truthfully say that I recall
8) but I carry within myself forever a piece of his parental spirit
to pick me up should I ever again fall
