"Do you love me yet?"

Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ88oTITMoM  (Lou Reed: Walk on the Wild Side) Here we go

A dissonant land
Where Angles
Gladly traded
Hollow wings
For piercing
Ivory horns
So piercing
But
Ever so pretty
Ever
So
Pretty

“Do you love me yet?”

Hands of the abhorrent one
Perched before paper
Longed to answer
But
Longed to tell the truth
Heavy movements
Laden, considered
He knows his words are
So piercing
But
Ever so pretty
Ever
So
Pretty

“Do you love me yet?”

She arrived home
As she always did
Five minutes before
The Emotional closing time
“You can feel what you want,
Just can’t feel it here.”
A fine house
So piercing
But
Ever so pretty
Ever
So
Pretty

“Do you love me yet?”

Pen lingered on paper
Beckoning visions
She poured a drink
To drown his silent call
In the movement of his pen
And the tilt of her glass
Images frozen
So piercing
But
Ever so pretty
Ever
So
Pretty

“Do you love me yet?”
