01/06/06

I waited by the glowing light in case you passed by.

You passed me by before, when I was a young girl
I had such fantasies!
of who I would love and what would love be...

Come to the River -
We can take off our clothes
Jump in the water
get the mud in between our toes
its so cold in there,
and it touches all my skin...
We can lie with just our noses out
like crocodiles waiting...


Love to you all from Elle, UK

Wires by Elle

Telephone wires criss-crossed
Divided up the sky
Which once was flat into oscillating shapes
As the train troubled by...

You said the only thing
You Can Be Certain Of In Life
was certainly misery...
oh so whats the point in getting up

What's the point in washing?
when there's always so much dirt.
What's the point in moving when we cannot move the earth.

When we said goodbye the rain came down.
Is slid by sideways
it covered all the iron and wood
and litter and lice and leaves
and divided up the sky.

Lament

Lament to My Cunt.
Oh, wide meadow of sweet grass, open your wild flowers
bee-kissed and stung, bring back the butterflies
and birdsong
Drifting pollen yellow breeze gently please
blow away the polluted air
Breathe again the sunlight and the morning's night
Vacate the beasts that lurk within
bring them out from the wet jungle
Expose their shining eyes to the world
let their wilderness go...
Lament their death and grieve their lives.
They have ravaged your forests
and made them a dangerous place
They have broken the eggshells in their nests.
The dinosaurs have gone
but we are still unsafe.
Lament to my cunt,
Vessel! On my seas...
You have been tossed on the storm!
you have ridden the waves.
I will let the seas calm and clear the toxic oils
that float in marble pools.
Lament, return the lawnmower buzzing loudly
and lock it in the barn.
Roll into the haystacks and yawn,
lie there quietly.
