and where were you
and where was I
when pigs flew
and ruled the skies
we were new
with covered hearts
and covered eyes
to ides of march
in summertime
west winds blew
zypherus smiled
as he watched us play
in the river nile
though he knew
of the changing tides
receding into the riversides
pouring out from glassy eyes
east winds came
to make them dry
and the east winds stayed
to watch them die
the covered hearts
the covered eyes
now stripped away
in winter ice
which sought to flay
our tree of life
like ides of march
in wintertime
and where were you
and where was i
when pigs flew
and ruled the skies
we were screwed
by covered eyes
in a silent zoo
of preying lies
