Lady Godiva has fallen!
I was riding beside her and suddenly
It started to blow hard and rained and you said
that was lightning and thunder too (this I can’t remember)
and lightning struck the church tower and flashed over
your hair so red that really was a thunderstorm
and I was in a hurry to hold you but the heart was
acting just like the sky and I suddenly heard
the cry: LADY GODIVA HAS FALLEN!
there is no electric storm nor women riding
naked in Marrakesh nor rain in the Sahara
I’ve been in many countries in many squares
and I contemplated disgracefully magnetized
but I never in any time fell
oh Godiva we love you sit on the hair
and ride again.
