Gone

KT Tunstall - "The Boys of Summer"

She will wait
always
wait
Until

The female
Has replaced the male

So be it

In cloistered shadows
The laugh resounds

Was it a dream

Despite
Reviews glowing
Of the artist stuggling
How his move
How his pause
Makes
A difference
To someone
Will change
Someone

What did he know?

What did

Why did

It matter?

He spoke of the one
The struggle against
The machine
So powerful
So
Omnipresent

He made a differnce
He made a change
To hands clutching
Dismantiling
A system psychopathic
That rewards only those
Who cower

Should he
Speak of
The she?

Hair excellent
Body
Glorious
She knew
The touch
Shimmering in the half light
Who could afford to loose
Herself for a moment
Stolen
From herself
From society
She does not know
Or knows perfectly well
So many
Choices

So many

I never will forget those nights
Remember how I made you scream

So long ago

So long

As she waited for her boys
Of summer
The past
Collides
With the present

So much
So

So
She dances
As love
Dies
Slowly

Hidden pirouettes
Crying out for life
As the turn
Reveals
Nothing
Save the gasp
The cry
For fulfillment
She abandoned
So long

Ago

So they wait
Till the boys of summer
Are gone

So far

Gone
