when pigs flew

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
