But she was right there
Down the ancient forest
Under the fairy lights
In a wood of oak and may
Wild roses and fireflies
Raindrops on the grass
Barefoot wanderer
At the ruined stones of Gormenghast
Asphodel and gold and scarlet
A crimson drip at the tip of Anduril
Wielded with pride
Princess of the fallen kingdom
Dragon slayer
Concrete walls and asylum beds
White sheets with grey
She lies like a broken winged butterfly
On a barren frozen field of snow
Where did the magic go?
She asks, “nurse, where’s my sword?”
