I dreamt I saw King Lear,
Wrapped in robes torn and shred
Speaking in heat and fury
Frenzied dreams on words
He was staff in hand calling all creatures from afar
Children come on!
All sons and daughters of the kingdom
Like a new deluge or apocalypse
Visitation of the new
He was biding me,
Binding me to the rock,
To offer me to the sea
I went along so patiently
Waiting the pledge to give
To run away from the crowd
And into this mad man's prophesied fate
Reverend unto death to my own truth.
