Adrift in dreams, yet still it seems
We’re haunted by a crystal screen.
A flash of malice, bitter and callous,
And then it’s gone... yet still remains
The trauma from their prior reign.
Hiding in silence, they still seemed to find us,
Then felt entitled to tell us we’re wrong.
But we are better than they are. We are carefully wrought.
Sure, every shot at the moon came up short, ever evading our reach.
Still, we can steal off to our own fantasy. I’ll be her moonlight instead,
And she’ll be my Genie, as we lay in bed and think up new words for her mouth to say to me.
A violet light, the ivory sky,
And iron walls so we don’t die.
Safe in our garden, our spirits harden,
And then we’re gone, a stoic shell:
A formless husk, but all is well.
Still, if they notice, their hatred will show us
How much they’re focused on killing us all.
Now we are better than they are. We are carefully wrought!
