Carpet Crawlers |
There is lambswool under my naked feet |
The wool is soft and warm |
Gives off some kind of heat |
A salamander scurries |
Into flame to be destroyed |
Imaginary creatures |
Are trapped in birth on celluloid |
The fleas cling to the golden fleece |
Hoping they’ll find peace |
Each thought and gesture |
Are caught in celluloid |
There’s no hiding in my memory |
There’s no room to avoid |
The crawlers cover the floor |
In the red ochre corridor |
For my second sight of people |
They’ve more lifeblood than before |
They’re moving in time |
To a heavy wooden door |
Where the needle’s eye is winking |
Closing in on the poor |
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: |
«We've got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out» |
There’s only one direction in the faces that I see; |
It’s upward to the ceiling, where the chamber’s said to be |
Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree |
They are pulled up by the magnet, believing they’re free |
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: |
«We've got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out» |
Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite |
And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright |
Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight |
It’s the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight |
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: |
«We've got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out» |
The porcelain mannequin with shattered skin fears attack |
The eager pack lift up their pitchers, they carry all they lack |
The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack |
And the tickler takes his stickleback |
The carpet crawlers heed their callers: |
«We've got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out» |
«We've got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out |
We’ve got to get in to get out» |
The carpet crawlers heed their callers |
«We've got to get in to get out» |
