ROCKWOOD [enlarge]

 

Willful violence

 

the rope-ladder going down

 

Ghosts walk in our streets

on April

Fool's Eve and on All

Hallows Eve

 

"What's going on now?"

Come on, this is infinite!"

"I like blue watah, too!"

 

Oh, you , you, you coiled endlessly

You, you, you stop and stare

 

When Daphne ran, leaving the god to stand,

holding his useless arrows in his hand,

did she mean really to flee from the huge and glorious hand

of Apollo Smintheus, leaving him really baffled and shining to stand?

 

"I like it when the wind beats against me"

(drowning my head, blinding my ears)

"It makes me feel tangible, like a rock"

Or somebody beating

your head with a stick

 

Oh I love my love, my love monitors everything I say,

he's got flanks and he flicks, away, like a tail through the water.

My love is blue, my love is a whale.

He's a blue dolphin, he never speaks,

nothing goes through him.

Oh my love's blue, my love's a seal,

my love's a manatee, he's an elephant,

oh I love my love, my love's a rhinoceros,

a fish, a fish, a huge huge moth!

Oh I love my love, he monitors everything I say!
