I know something about opening windows and doors


I know how to move quietly to creep across creaky wooden floors


I know where to find precious things in all your cupboards and drawers


Slipping the clippers


Slipping the clippers through the telephone wires


The sense of isolation inspires


Inspires me





I like to feel the suspense when I'm certain you know I am there


I like you lying awake, your baited breath charging the air


I like the touch and the smell of all the pretty dresses you wear


Intruders happy in the dark


Intruder come


Intruder come and leave his mark, leave his mark
