‘cry’ says ophelia:
the technology’s gone to your head,
yeah,
the technology’s grown kitten claws, blue girl, metal girl, rust-in-the-garden-gateway girl, and the devil’s been asking where you slept last night, he forgot to watch while he flew three times round the world in a paper boat. so ophelia sings
the floor of a faceless shadow’s room and
where did he leave his mouth, blue girl, moon girl, did he forget to pick it up girl, or did he leave it hanging open in caverns filled with shells, hey, maybe, after you bit frozen lips and made him bleed and played piano on eagle thighs, left the tinsel from the magic wand on the broken swings where
you know
they’ll see right through you
their little pixie fingers flicker, finding bitemarks in your promises, cancer in the sun, the aching of the ever-sorry musician who sold his soul for a china doll,
and if you choke on yourself
then why
not him, when his eyes were holes
and yours stayed as wide as the sky.
