Erika is watching.
Daniel is hiding.
Erika is counting, 16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9
Erika is coming.
The sun is setting the scene.
In the garden its starting to rain.
The trees are trembling.
Erikas repeating, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Erika is feeling something.
Daniel is hiding.
Shes counting, 16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4
The sun is leaving the scene.
It took a look and turned away.
The trees are trembling.
Erikas repeating, oh, oh, oh, oh
There is no laughter in the garden.
LEAVING CALIFORNIA
No one but me is walking
under palms that give no shade.
Im leaving you today.
California.
How cruel was I to think that
I could make you change?
Oh, give me some shade.
Oh, England, come soon.
How could I have believed
that I could live and breathe in you?
California killed me.
I think its time to leave.
I told no one Id stay.
THE CHAIR
Where? Where have you gone
Daniel, my youngest son?
I keep expecting you
to be here in your chair.
Sitting in your favourite chair.
When you swam into the water
I felt you leave, through 1000 yawning miles.
My heart slowed,
never to pick up again.
Pieces of my life
are gone.
Washed away in the water that took my son.
APRIL
April,
how could
I not have
seen
April,
you
com-
ing
April,
how could
I have worn
in-appropriate
clothing?
April,
all that
careful
stepping,
rounding
of my soul,
and now
your rain.
April, I feel you leaving.
I dont know what silence means
It could mean anything.
April,
wont you
answer
me?
These days
just seem
to crush
me.
Hatching,
collapsing,
tumbling
down.
April!
What if
I drown!
I dont know what silence means.
It could mean anything.
Wont you answer me?
I dreamed,
April,
that Im walking,
that Im watching
your rain.
It overcomes me.

THE SOLDIER
I imagine a dream
in which Im a soldier,
and Im walking
on the faces of dead women,
and everyone Ive left behind me.
Its the year when
the troops entered the 39th parallel.
Its the year when some poet said
we must love, or accept the consequences.
I want you to share every pinprick of guilt
that I have felt.
Then send me home restless.
Send me home damaged.
Send me home dispossessed.
Send me home damaged, and wanting.
PIG WILL NOT（官方欠奉）
PASSIONLESS, POINTLESS
CRACKS IN THE CANVAS
How do we cope with the days after a death?
Empty days. Nothing left.
Not even a funeral.
I see shapes forming inside paintings.
Animals and humans, row upon row.
Walking towards something.
Waiting for something.
Im looking for an answer,
me and a million others.
Disbelievers.
Deserted lovers.
Dear God, youd better not let me down
this time.
Cracks in the canvas
look like roads
that never end.
Polly,
go to sleep.
You have
no one to wait for.
But Polly
hears another
voice.
Outside
the window,
the voices
of 10,000 angels.
10,000 lives
that lived
before.
I think I saw you in the shadows
I move in closer beneath your windows
Who would suspect me of this rapture?
And who but my black hearted love
And who but my black hearted love
When you call out my name in rapture
I volunteer my soul for murder
I wish this moment here forever
And you are my black hearted love
And you are my black hearted love
In the rain, in the evening, I will come again
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
I'd like to take you
I'd like to take you to a place I know
My black hearted
In the rain, in the evening, in the garden, I will come again, in the rain...
A WOMAN A MAN WALKED BY / THE CROW KNOWS WHERE ALL THE LITTLE CHILDREN GO
I once knew a woman man
A courageous friend, I thought
It turned out so wrong was I
When we were up against the wall
He had chicken liver balls
He had chicken liver spleen
He had chicken liver heart
Made of chicken liver parts
Lily livered little parts
Prematurely going bald
Any passion long gone cold
But I wanted to explore
The damp alleyways of his soul
All the times he tried to help
He spit in my face and laughed
That woman man
I want his fucking ass
I want his fucking ass
I want his fucking ass
I want your fucking ass
Huh huh herm-aphrodite
He's lookin like he
Crammed in a taxi, I see you too clearly
Sucking on a little pea
Sucking on a little pea
My, my you little toy
He's just a mummy's boy
Where's your liver?
Where's your heart?
What's with all your woman parts?
Now it's my turn to laugh
You stick it up your fucking ass
You stick it up your fucking ass
You stick it up your fucking ass
You stick it up your fucking ass
PIG WILL NOT
I
I will
I will not
I will not
No, I will not
How dare you, says the angel
He crashes down from the heights
Shakes the disbeliever, woof woof
Shakes the disbelievers head
Shakes him harder
Instructing you well, woof woof
Hear me, do you hear the law?
All that rubbish inside your rotting mind
I am your guardian, I am your fairy
Do my will, woof woof
Such lovers, this is true love
This is true love that we are doing now
Even everywhere that I was before, all broken
Your face all mashed up
I will not
I will not
PASSIONLESS, POINTLESS
Let's talk
Let's talk
Let the dirt fall
Let heads roll
No kind hand
Is reaching out
For me tonight
I slept facing the wall
I dreamt of buildings in pieces
You slept facing the wall
And you wanted less than I wanted
Passionless, pointless
Where does the passion go?
I'm asking
There's no kindness in your hands
No reaching out
For me tonight
You slept facing the wall
And you wanted less than I wanted
I slept facing the wall
But when I met you how did you enter?
I don't remember
How did we ever?
