"Letters" * (lyrics/poem for "Mysteries of the Serpent Prince"):

I have no paper, have no lead,
So I write letters in my head.
I write myself what I should do;
I think these letters through and through.

I sit in darkness, on a chair,
And watch a mirror watch me stare.
The grinning mask is unaware
How deep I peep to see who's there.

I'm writing letters all the time
And corresponding in my mind.
I'm writing letters in my head --
I have no paper, have no lead.

(* The poem "Letters" was originally published in Treasured Poems of America: Fall 1993.  ISBN 0-923242-27-9)
