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
