How does the unknown bird enter and leave the cage? Paris café. our last rendez-vous ./rainswept, backwardscripted windows/our shrunken heads reading signs and lips One last dance . broken steps / before your eclipse Was there thunder in your ears?/ mine were full of sand, not hearing/ What your silence said/ and if I turn around, your mouth open/ No sound. your eyes screaming/ retreating into blackness A day too late, your news found me at home./ Mind bubbling up/ angry water refusing a stone/ And then revenge/ I felt life surge in my veins/ A hunger you would never taste again Did you lose your faith in love?/ Did you lose faith in human feeling?/ Silence./ did you lose your trust in truth?/ Did your heart find no way to healing / like I lost you? You left your lovers close behind/ All twisted up in time, you crossed the line./ It's all we have this thin twine./ then nothing/ Just the emptiness you carved / your spine a lonely blade In space/ to the end a dancer/ beautiful face begins to fade/ Thanks for being my friend/ beautiful face begins to fade
