Analysis of Feel no Evil.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
So effortless your arms swing,
as if in wing above city and house.
I imagine your magnificent mouth.
Gentle lips easing our thoughts.
I ran to find her as lost as a moth.
You beat your wings on a broken spouse.
Heavy her vessel, now shattered grouse.
I gave you my wife but what have I now?
Gently you shon, wrapped in robed towel.
Breaking her heart now I carry her trowel.
I say my goodbyes as your voice howls.
One day I'll forgive you, as I settle my bowel.
But today so sickened, all I can do is growl.
So grumpy, alone, no body - a fowl.
How can I love you, if I remember how,
maybe I'll forget that I was her pig but she was my sow.
