behind vacant eyes, a poem by a Faust

behind vacant eyes



feline serpent female disguise

silent scented graceful wise

image enigma press release guile

reality warmth killed for style


inspecting the glass

reflecting right?

have to keep making sure

buying new class

smile just right

maintaining the allure


veiled stage spotlight drama obsessed

endless circles reason guessed

a virgin soul breeds restless sin

infinite hunger's plastic skin


& ready for bed

he turns out her light

& practices his dreams

by instincts led

every night

is never what it seems


reaching out desperate someone care

tired indifferent no one there

begging for love receiving pity

in the end she's only pretty




by a female Faust

c. 1983
