Dormouse Ensnared 4. The Claws Of a Crayfish
Phideaux
Continues after the ad
Wear away your heart - tear it apart
Deep inside your head - broken in shreds
Back behind your eyes - emptiness lies
The claws of a crayfish, it's true
Pose little threat to a shrew
But we're lost in a blizzard of sound
In hard armoured words we are drowned
Continues after the ad
Hard armoured words we were clucking
Like birds having heard but deferred
Until the worst had occurred
You and I were talking, at least I tried
You and I were walking, but you seemed to slide
Something was pulling you out of my life
Something was waiting
Inciting you to hide
Are you free?
