Song of the Wind and the Night

The wind and the night

The wind and the night and warped mirrors

The wind and the night

And abortion on the stairs

The wind and the night and hearts

That can no longer love

The wind and the night and nervous fingers

All we can say of desire and time

All we can say disinherits

And remembers

Song of rain

Song of false moons

Song of emptiness and terror

Song of the wind stirring lashes

Song of the wind and the night and dark lovers

All we can say of the sea and the sky

And stars that burn like thirst

All we can say of gardens and lost pleasures

All we can say distorts and destructs

Song of the wind and the night and lights

From lonely windows

Song of the wind slashing wrists

Song of stone and crumbling faces

Song of the wind and the night and hearts

That can no longer love
