The Night On Ecstasy 
 
 
 
Hibernation 
	Cave of unclean linens 
		sleep dreaded day 
		haunt cadaverous night 
storybook legend reborn 
	i own this dark world, vast beyond mere sight 
sparse in population 
stealing dreams and trickling lights 
	i play in the halls of my city 
where every space is a new world 
	elevate me and watch me droll 
Loss of time i sit for lunch 
	over tea that's late 
the horizon yields a terror 
crash, bang, boom, and crunch 
	The race is on 
	no time to creep 
	will YOU awaken 
	or just go to sleep?
