slender, tall and often bright
Claudia Novena
slips between the marble lions' eyes

she slips between the scented pines
under the guise of a different star
through the bedroom window watch her go
her body is a vision in electric white
as she dines along the river
silently she surrenders

Claudia
yr visions' getting real
hot talk on the bathroom phone tonight
and Claudia?
I know exactly how you feel
and with the little death
I know yll get things right

life is full of necessities
strings, spray paint and hair die
fresh sheets and sweetmeats for the tongue
anyone?
discussing roots over champage flutes
the point grows mute
applauding death is Claudia
with an eager finger sliding sweetly
down down down
oh down down down
in a party dress with a parasol
reclining in the fainting room
silently
we surrender

Oh Claudia
yr visions' getting real
hot talk on the garden path tonight
and Claudia?
I know exactly how you feel
and with a little death I'm sure y'll get things right
Oh Claudia
they exacdtly how you feel
hot talk in the atrium tonight
and Claudia?
my visions' getting real
and with a little death I know yll get things right
