Lifeguard Sleeping, Girl
Drowning*

Last update : 10/26/2007
When Barbara turns her eyes to meWhen Barbara raises a hand upon me
A cool and white-skinned hand
There’s a light that shines from her inside
Beyond graves
Hands are joining
Eyes full of soil
All their dead joys
Where have they gone ?
“Barbara, try me, try me”
For the love of the corporal of the guard
“Barbara…”
Her cool and white-skinned hand
On the brim of the bath
The chaos still echoes
In my head
“Barbara…”
I remember her hand upon me
And I remember the look of her eyes
Dark as the grave wherein I will be laid
(She thought she had me)
She tried to mesmerize her warder lover
All she got was his death between her arms
“Barbara, try me, try me”
There’s a thrill of pleasure running down my neck
“Barbara…”
The whims of fate have dragged her
To a fairy land of anger
Where painfully
She’s moving like a white chimera
“Barbara…”
She’s wearing a mask of falling tears
And her hand rests on me
The hand of a huntress
Who ever digs up the cadaver of her lover
Just to entwine their fingers, a last time
Just to rile the lips of her beloved, a last time
Ever…
“Barbara, try me, try me”
A morning rime recovered their entombment
“Barbara…”
Her cool and white-skinned hand
On the brim of the bath
Wrist open
The rigor sucking her beauty
“Barbara…”
Doe-eyed lady
She has now closed her body
She’s at night’s doorstep
It will be soon taken cared of
“Barbara…”
And Barbara turns her eyes to me
And Barbara raises a hand upon me
A cool and white-skinned hand
There’s a light that shines from behind a grave
