I walked down a dirt path
and came upon a rabbit.

The rabbit had no eyes,
only hollows filled with fireflies.

I walked farther into the woods
and saw a light coming from a
tree ahead of me.

Down fell a zebra that was
very polite. He told me which was was out.

I followed the path that he zebra said
and came upon a rose bed.

The roses then spoke to me and said,
"fetch us water or will we dry out, we hide a
precious thing no doubt."

I wondered if I should fetch the pail,
or let myself fail.

The roses melted away.

Behind the blackened thorns of
what was, there lay a woman in a wooden burrow.

She wore nothing but a cloak
and she held a long, thin pipe out
of which came scarlet smoke.

And behind the scarlet smoke
I could see her eyes were made of of mirrors, and her
tounge was that of a serpent.

The woman spoke and said,
"the roses you let die, now I will
give you what you have killed for."

I stood there upon the burned
remanants of my slaughtered prey,
as the woman took my hand.

She led me down a diamond encrusted
path, where she replaced my eyes with tulips.

The boy I gave directions to looked very weary.

Thank you ^-^.

That was the feeling I was going for when I wrote. I wanted people to feel like they were in a dream, but a familiar dream if you know what I mean?
