This is the life I wanted this is the life I worked for
I have pleasures at hand friends on the wire.
I keep good company give as good as I get
here and there try to shine a light.
The lantern glass frost-rimed and dimmed
cracks when cleaved by occasional lightening.
So bright even I can see through scaly eyes
surely others share this same sight.
But I am only a shadow in the glow I cast
and no one embraces a phantom.
