a wave washed over
01:23
|
|||
a wave washed over our house
all our seeds fell in the mud
(no fertile land)
(only quicksand)
the sea is so cruel
we are her orfins/phans
(father has gone)
(she needs a new husband)
baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo!
baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo!
baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo!
baiaii!! iaoiaouo! baiaii!! iaoiaouo!

the bull & the scorpion
01:04
|
|||
the story so far
2 decades of trying to give birth to myself
turns out it likes to take its own time
yknow, it’s a spiral, it’s a rhythm
fashion a dagger to fend off the bull & the scorpion
competing for control of the child

the empyreans
01:19
|
|||
for a half-second, a memory from behind the curtains appears
it shells up in a puzzle box & stays there for a year
a story & a kiss, a treetrunk overlook, a local brook
do more than any chemical to bring us there
but it is gone again, only a vast womb & its blastocyst are left
which empyreans will make a story of us next?
christmastime is here
rotting angel in a living room
tomatoes on its open grave
eaten by vultures & humbleproud eels

hey jana!!
11:48
|
|||
hey jana!! you were so worth waiting for
& these birth pangs aren’t gonna last all night
hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
& it’s not gonna stay abandoned anymore
hey jana your body double’s in my heart place
her face is always morphing closer to yours
sunlight moonlight bright sun dark moon
sunlight moonlight dark sun bright moon
now i can’t remember which one’s you & which one’s me
wouldn’t it be so much easier if we were one person
(idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet idon’twannaknowyeah idon’twannaknowyet)
now our little Hook's pulling whales out from the great sea
call me if you figure out where our rivers meet the ocean
i don’t wanna be a u-turn on the way to mark’s house
i think that this could last a long time
i’m not gonna be this silent forever
i’m not gonna be that bull-like forever
i don’t want for you to be a stone for me to step on along the way
i want for us to go together
i want for us to grow together
i want for us to glow together
i have no voice to speak with
(i)
i have no ears to hear your words
just bark torn from its plant
(they drank from the black stream)
(rootless and aching)
(rootless and free)
but don’t get me wrong
i can still hear
the children’s song
echo in your hair
behind a wall
of muddy feathered steel
we will see you win
won’t quit till you heal
who are all these
humans in the way?
will it be long
before they go away?
trying to let dinosaurs
out of their pen
but the dragon’s become
a turtle once again
if my sails give way to the wind
& if it blows me back inland
i’ll carry my kayak to the shore
to sail in your waters again
stegosaurus, your bony neck’s a pterodactyl landing
hey jana, you’re woven into places we grew up
you could spend lifetimes hunting all the hidden treasures here
don’t fall backwards dont fall back don’t step backwards now don’t step back
now don’t look back now don’t look back don’t fall backwards don’t fall back
same bass, followed by guitar: now the tempo increases
your director's eye is radiating godlibido straws
your scorpion serpent's spitting haphazard designs of death
why don't you & you & you & i go opening some doors together?
hey jana it’s always been you
all of my short little life it’s always been you
red karma from the study of the evolving language of your mythosis
has our house daimon teleporting all these dinosaur babies into my dreams
cuz a body is language
& a language is a body
& i want to learn both of yours
yeah!!!
& hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
hidden among these toy guns
somewhere there’s a real one
& it’s not gonna be abandoned
anymore
how many lives have i known you?
or is this my only chance to fall to earth with you?
i try to love the dirt, if only for that
but this is a dead world on holy fire

splinter
01:06
|
|||
i had thought that i had got the splinter out my foot
but i had only pushed it deeper, now it’s lodged inside the root
i need a better set of tweezers so that i can finally put
them round the splinter so that i can get the splinter out my foot
(i gotta:)
🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🧲🛠️🛠️🛠️🥁🥁
dung branches are growing from the flowers on my head
maybe i watered them & watered them & now they’re overfed
don’t tell me if it’s actually the infection down their root
you know that i get squeamish when i see the red inside my foot
(i want that:)

doing easy

|

doing easy's pretty easy
when you got ritalin analogs
sold as research chemicals online
& it also helps to haveyouknow
way too much free time
meditating's pretty easy
when you got ritalin analogs
& some dissociatives would be fine
it's very often that i don't know what's yours & what's mine

sea shanties

eyeball hits on terror
terror hits the road
terror hits on eyeball now i think it might explode
i try to be a person
try to get along
somehow every time it feels like i do it wrong
i don’t like small talk i don’t like big talk
i don’t wanna be human at all
you’re giving yourself toothaches with that steel floss
you know there’s gotta be a safer place to cross
i promise to promise to never put your songs in my mouth
i’ll only wear your headdress when we’re both in the sacred house
i don’t like small talk i don’t like big talk
i don’t wanna be human at all
i promise not to force the night to be day, i promise not to force the day to be night
come come come come away, my little ram
make me understand

light laughs in lydian
02:59
|

rainfall hits my face
wanders off & leaves pink & blue sky
sky wears a crown of clouds
moon watches over ocean, she’s halffull, it’s halloween
seshat says “says so” so seshat says “says”
seshat says “Says says so” so seshat says “smile”
l***t laughs lightly like l***t loves language
l***t lights laughly like l***t learns love, lively love
baialo baialo take it home
baialo baialo take it home
A-B-C-D-E-F-G, H-I-J-K-LMNO-P, Q-R-S, T- U-V, W-X, Y and Z

swords
01:26
|
|||
i don’t swim
i walk on stilts and push you in
i got swords to sell
dull swords, rusted swords
i got spirals to sleep on
& i got you, i got you
i got swords to stick in you

[written in 2019 iirc for an open mic in rhode island, now it's here too]
well i lost track of time
& i lost track of whether i lost track of time
& whether i know if i lost track of time
so i don’t remember which layers that i’m on today & which i’m not
"oh ha ha ha, ha ha haha ha ha"
i hold a camera to the words to make them lose all value
hold a camera to the words to capture their souls
hold a camera to the words to make them lose all power over me
to thin out their sense of reality
i was turned to sand and blown away
it feels so good to be dry wind again
i'll burn a hole in the silk for you to look through
for you, my lord, for you, for you

if i find them, i'll let you know
