Poetic Interludes 7: The Little Girl in a Red Slicker
Written by Redell

                  Adena,
                  Adena,
                  Where have you gone?
                       (i speak for you)
                  A smile? A
                  whisper?
                  Have they missed
                  the sign

                  Washed over
                  in rain
                      (cries never heard)
                  In blood
                  In time

                  Dreaming of you
                  Believing that you,
                  were brutalized
                      (i wanna believe, *i* did all i could)
                  By Tucker
                  Hoping you
                  could be saved
                  by Bayliss

                  Needed to be avenged
                  Kept alive still
                  in these waking thoughts
                  I have 
                  for your soul
                       (i wanna know i helped)
                  Wishing to see you rise from
                  darkness, to hear
                  you laugh,
                  your mother's joy

                  To lift the
                  sorrow
                  from a detective's
                  heart
                      (i'm so very sorry! i have forsaken you!)
                  Adena,
                  Adena. 
                  Where have you gone?
