Flowers in Vain II        (C) 1991 N.Thomas        Assembling the petals        Feel the cautious breath        Above us and below us        Putrid smell of death        Threading with the needle        Careful with the skin        Tattered strips of curtain        Let the sunlight in        Eager eyes awaiting        Liquid on the boil        A thousand empty faces        Reflected in the foil        Eyes remain wide open        The windows of the soul        Fixed on tattered curtains        Rearrange the role        Shadows growing longer        Candles burn so bright        Moths begin to flutter        Attracted by the light
