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
