An exquisite ballad

109 56 9
                                    

Ears pointy,
strange and small,
of the lonely faerie
found at the ball.

Eyes filled with trickery
under the light,
of the one 
whose ballad lures all tonight,

'Left and right,
and right and left'
Say the doomed
who haven't left.

'Right and left,
and left and right'
Say the mad and crazy 
under the lights.

'Twist and turn,
and turn and twist'
of those who forever
underground shall only exist.

'Turn and twist,
and twist and turn'
say those who upstairs
shall never to return.
