Count Ruzéno by Melina Raven Maness DieboldCount Ruzéno
lost his family
in the darkness of the night
He wasn't there
to hear their pleas
or to witness their fevered fight
He was away
near the Rhine
and now they are all gone
Erzebet, dear Erzebet
and Oleg and Inga
have left him all alone
He'll fight to sleep
and dreams will shy away
With his eyes watching the moon
Cursing the night
her zircon-stars shining
Cursing the Kalandornõ's boon 12/04/2002 Author's Note: don't you love dreams?
