Blistered

in my soul she dances on,

tuned to a polka her feet,

swish of expensive velvet

big teeth white and neat

 

dance band chords echo

wind and brass combine

but can't erase the stink

of spilt burnt turpentine

 

smoke up my nostrils

provoked by her deeds

loung lizards basking

careless of my needs

 

tunes one after another

standards she'd adored

at her f...

Disney Fairy

 

Nancy comes in my dreams 

Like a fairy of Disney Land 

Have two wings and song 

Touch hearts with no band

And to share her in the dancing 

  

Nancy, I love you so much 

Can you call me only once? 

Don't keep me in dreams 

Just come in real to dance

TRINE

 

TRINE

 

Special gig Norway style saw Leaves Eyes and loved it so,

better than London gig two weeks before.

Met Liv, the singer, who looked just like she did

on the album cover, real woman.

My vocation, my music, to meet another heroine.

Octavia, five Norse girls, count them as they come on stage,

where is the singer? There! Look at my cd booklet—

me and...
