about

Alexandra

(Alexandra also known as Kassandra, the Princess of Troy , was a daughter of King Priam. She was given the gift of prophecy, but cursed by the god Apollo so that no one believed the prophecies she uttered. At the fall of Troy, Cassandra sought shelter in the temple of Athena, but was raped there by Ajax the Lesser, son of Oileus. Later she was taken by King Agamemnon as a concubine. The king fell in love with Alexandra and took her to Mycenae, where both of them were murdered by Agamemnon‘s wife Clytemnestra and her lover Aegisthus).

lyrics

i fell
fell to bits
to pieces
doctors
sewed
my hands on
where my legs
were
sewed my
eyes on
instead of
ears
my teeth
in place
of hands and
I wandered
the streets
like this
saying hello
to people
like this —
buying potions
from the drowned
fisherman —
selling poisons
to the hanged
maid
treating a shattered
boy with honey
cookies
that woman
she sat
in the market
asked
for water
made presents
of salt
to bypassers
strangers
she had long
tentacles
for hair
sticky unruly
she begged
„stop
scaring
passersby“
she begged
„stop
weaving
perdition“
but they disobeyed
they were screaming
murder squealing
and their
scream was disturbing
the dead
„not the time“
they kept saying
„now is not
the time
to officiate
rains“
they said
the deceased
i fell
fell
to pieces
to bits
doctors
came
sewed
my legs on
to where my
belly was
reattached
eyelids
instead of lips
replaced
my tongue
with one
of the eyes
I wandered
the streets
like this
saying hello
to people
like this —
and that
mother she sat
in the square
with two
boys born
eyeless
telling them
of
the sea
of
the sky
of
the forests
and they
listened
their mouths
open
and there
they were
instead of
teeth —
the sea
and
the sky
and
the forests
and their childish
penises
covered
in scales
penises
with venomous
fangs
reached out
to their faces
and bit
and the boys
falling slowly
asleep spelled
doom to the city
prophesied
fires and
downfall and
famine and
then ceased
to listen
once more
to their mother
telling them of
the sea
and
the sky
and
the forests
i fell fell
to bits fell
to pieces
doctors
they sewed
my hair on
in place
of my breasts
reattached
fingers instead
of ribs
nipples instead
of knees
i wandered
the streets
like this
saying hello
to people
like this —
and the wind
was blowing
maleficent
wind
carrying
odor
of the future
infirmaries
shimmering
wind
threshing me
with its frosts
and i saw
this wind
breathing
not like a wind
like a demon
of harm
and death
saw it embracing
virgins
from behind
exposing their
breasts
exposing their
thighs
saw it kissing
their lips
covering them
with shiver
unknown before
saw it
entering
their bodies
and planting
its poisonous
seed
planting
its poisonous
seed
in your daughters‘
wombs
planting
its poisonous
seed
