Flash Back

Alice skips trips through the mirror
We are entering a flash back
A river of tears
Hatter and Rabbit
And of course the Red Queen
We drink sweet liquor to keep warm
Wrapped up in the bed
Toes dancing
Always waiting
Today there will be a flood
Tomorrow we will not remember it
Such is the course of things
Do we live in the past
She asks
I doubt we live anywhere
I answer
The cold presses us to the blankets
We dare not sleep
Only dream
We have to be awake up to cross back through the mirror
There are no cats to follow
Only the route set in our heart
We eat sandwiches as the light fades
It fills us up
Stops the liquor from making us sick
I look at the mirror from my bed
Always knowing she will return.
