Last night I dreamed of hell
but all I recall is the feeling,
not even of pain or burning
but of being lost, of despair.
Each morning's a toss of the dice,
each noon I bet on cards,
each evening I pick between
red or black or green
while nature drops the ball
and fortune spins the wheel,
each night I'm drawing lots
with devils or with God---
last night I dreamed of hell
after I gravely sinned.
Was this some kind of warning
or am I being mocked?
but all I recall is the feeling,
not even of pain or burning
but of being lost, of despair.
