piggy in the mirror

shapes in the drink like christ

cracks in the pale blue wall

i'm walking slowly and quickly but

always away

twisting twisting to the floor



flowers in your mouth and the same dry

song the routine from laughter land

16 white legs and a row of teeth

i watch you in secrecy



your dying for the hope is gone

from here we go nowhere again

i'm trapped in my face and i'm changing

too much

i can't climb out the way i fell in



jump with me

for that old forgotten dance

the midnight sun will burn you up

your life is cold

your life is hot

your life's too much for words



these occasions are such a relief

another point another view to send

we start to talk

and it's all so safe

i feed you in my dreams



footsteps on a wire

high above my head

the stain reveals my real intention

i'm the waiting beast

i'm the twisted nerve

as i dance dance

back to the body in my bed



look at the piggy
