Staring eyes
Wondering, uncomprehending
An image of three
Bonded, in a line
Twists their minds
And reality holds no meaning
Because they have been dreaming

Standing here
Above them all
With only two others
One at my right
At the left another

Calling out to the multitude
I tell my story
Relief like a wave
Washes across my battered soul
Cooling the fire
Even as the salt burns into the wound
There is pain, all is said
