| WATCHING DREAMS AND GUILT You have chosen to be electricity Wires around your wrists, imposed by those who enjoyed their popularity Fires, menstrual blood, monstrous blood are what you unleashed First you let them Yeah you let them do it to you Joys Joys of imaginary dreamy sickly love with someone so far gone so creepy that now she has become electricity blasphemously dropping out of the system but perversely staying there where I make some space for my feelings Watching dreams is like watching guilt You are there shaking, vibrating, electric and malevolent in the way your body dances in movement The girl that was electric and humanly indecent Her eyes nervous, nervously wanting everything I saw it in the flash of time it took me to see the news reels featuring small stories about small lives, there was a priest, a parapsychologist and people who were there to love her love her in fear and suspicion Her eyes Nervous and contentious Her eyes Have set the fires at the school Her eyes Have set the fires at the party where flesh is burned in retaliation for humiliation As hands gently wrapped her face she may never admit her misdirection Ooh female electricity that causes terror Ooh female electricity that causes terror Electric girl who caused terror The electric girl who likes to provoke the fervour of terror © 2008 Jerome Lebel |
