Twin Peaks

Bob Rashkow

There is a place, deep in the woods
where love conquers nothing
(DANGER DALE COOPER - DANGER DALE COOPER!)
alongside of a large town
where creepy, unsettling spirits reign

is there really a hell?

Dale is in love
He is such a moral being
But even Dale cannot be spared;
For his love has followed the strange, hypnotic scent,
to the place, deep in the woods
the barely visible curtain of sycamores
She has entered the dark domain of dirt,
Too late for Dale to claim her back--
here, his love is of no use;
here, he encounters death, tongues of fire,
here, he asks politely
if he can please have his love set free

his request is granted

but out there, he will emerge--sans love & goodness
out there, he will prevail and flail
out there, he will follow in the endless chain
of evil, misery, grief, and blackness.
