The Family And The Fishing Net (Live)
La Famille et le Filet de Pêche (Live)
Suffocated
by
mirrors,
stained
by
dreams
Suffocated
by
mirrors,
stained
by
dreams
Her
honey
belly
pulls
the
seams
Her
honey
belly
pulls
the
seams
Curves
are
still
upon
the
hinge
Curves
are
still
upon
the
hinge
Pale
zeros
tinge
the
tiger
skin
Pale
zeros
tinge
the
tiger
skin
Moist
as
grass,
ripe
and
heavy
as
the
night
Moist
as
grass,
ripe
and
heavy
as
the
night
The
sponge
is
full,
well
out
of
sight
The
sponge
is
full,
well
out
of
sight
All
around
the
conversations
All
around
the
conversations
Icing
on
the
warm
flesh
cake
Icing
on
the
warm
flesh
cake
Light
creeps
through
her
secret
tunnels
Light
creeps
through
her
secret
tunnels
Sucked
into
the
open
spaces
Sucked
into
the
open
spaces
Burning
out
in
sudden
flashes
Burning
out
in
sudden
flashes
Draining
blood
from
well-fed
faces
Draining
blood
from
well-fed
faces
Desires
form
in
subtle
whispers
Desires
form
in
subtle
whispers
Flex
the
muscles
in
denial
Flex
the
muscles
in
denial
Up
and
down
its
pristine
cage
Up
and
down
its
pristine
cage
So
the
music,
so
the
trial
So
the
music,
so
the
trial
Vows
of
sacrifice,
headless
chickens
Vows
of
sacrifice,
headless
chickens
Dance
in
circles,
they
the
blessed
Dance
in
circles,
they
the
blessed
Man
and
wife,
undressed
by
all
Man
and
wife,
undressed
by
all
Their
grafted
trunks
in
heat
possessed
Their
grafted
trunks
in
heat
possessed
Even
as
the
soft
skins
tingle
Even
as
the
soft
skins
tingle
They
mingle
with
the
homeless
mother
They
mingle
with
the
homeless
mother
Who
loves
the
day
but
lives
another
Who
loves
the
day
but
lives
another
That
once
was
hers
That
once
was
hers
The
worried
father,
long
lost
lover
The
worried
father,
long
lost
lover
Brushes
ashes
with
his
broom
Brushes
ashes
with
his
broom
Rehearses
jokes
to
fly
and
hover
Rehearses
jokes
to
fly
and
hover
Bursting
over
the
bride
and
groom
Bursting
over
the
bride
and
groom
And
the
talk
goes
on
Et
le
bavardage
continue
Memories
crash
on
tireless
waves
Memories
crash
on
tireless
waves
The
lifeguards
whom
the
winter
saves
The
lifeguards
whom
the
winter
saves
Silence
falls
the
guillotine
Silence
falls
the
guillotine
All
the
doors
are
shut
All
the
doors
are
shut
Nervous
hands
grip
tight
the
knife
Nervous
hands
grip
tight
the
knife
In
the
darkness,
till
the
cake
is
cut
In
the
darkness,
till
the
cake
is
cut
Passed
around,
in
little
pieces
Passed
around,
in
little
pieces
The
body
and
the
flesh
The
body
and
the
flesh
The
family
and
the
fishing-net
The
family
and
the
fishing-net
And
another
in
the
mesh
And
another
in
the
mesh
The
body
and
the
flesh
The
body
and
the
flesh
