 Cleopatra on the Nile


It's a matter of happenstance...
     and the deal...
     and the grave...
The deal God made with the devil

Do you remember the train
     in that old black and white movie
     roaring through the night?
And that same old movie
     the calendar's daily pages
     falling like leaves
Flickering days blown in the wind?

Our lives like leaves...
     our memories
Cleopatra on the Nile
     I saw her in the distance
     before Vesuvius blew me away
     through the clash of swords down the ages
     to a rape
     which side was I on?

Time
     that was the deal the devil laid
     time and space and all of this...
     impressions

Put the paint back in the box
     it's Sunday morning
     rest
