Anouska Hempel just appeared to me
In the form of one of my dreams
She was illuminated
Sunlight on her skin
Pictured in soft focus
A heart-shaped tailspin
Strip lighting
Highlighting
The black and white
Colour scheme
She gathers her hair in her fingers
Her lips are frozen red
I can see her stop-motion animation in her head
She looked so still and serene
The library picture for every magazine
Photos in a scrapbook
Sheltered from the rain
Images picture perfect
And wrapped in cellophane
Your eye gaze
Sets the stage
Sparkling
Aquamarine
She gathers her hair in her fingers
Anouska's lips are frozen red
And I can see her stop-motion animation in her head

In answer to
The question you
Just asked me, secretly
I'd take a car
To the nearest star
Or as close as I can be
Take the train
Straight from the plane
To the higher peaks of Chamonix
Run the mountain path
Through the trees to Vallorcine
Stop on the Col at the top of the world
In answer to
The question you
Ask me, frequently
I'd take a boat
Somewhere remote
And lay on the beach
Sleep in the sand
Asleep on the sand

Hallelujah to you and me
Avenues all lined with trees
Good things come to those that wait
If you don't hesitate
Something equal this way comes
Calculating all the sums
Menthol-tipped cigarettes
Music on compact cassettes
Hallelujah to me and you
A constant sense of déjà vu
Blessings fall onto us all
Garlands around our necks for what comes next

All the secret home truths
Images from the photobooth
A glimpse of the next steps
Roadmmap, Alphabets
Horizontal bar graphs
Functioning psychopaths
Cheap photo montage
All the right camouflage
Carouselling polychrome
Soundtracked on a Stylophone
Roadside messages
Toehold on the precipice
Vertical bar graphs
Functioning sociopaths
Cheap budget montage
All the right camouflage
Look up to the high trapeze
Promises without guarantees
Swings like a metronome
Spaced out on Zopiclone
In the quisling circus ring
22 clowns colouring
In the Circus of Death
