Human feeling

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 you for being my friend/ beautiful face begins to fade
