Wild Love
01:47
|
|||
|
Good beasts, sour days and wild love
Amok, a murder of quietude
So toe to tooth
Riot takes root
And it’s subatomic now
All lacking things
Are heavy things
Are murderous things
Are perfect things

Echo Kills It
01:51
|
|||
|
Slow attack and long decay
Pulse is plagued by stark segue
The fade’s a cross
The light is dull and diffuse
No edge to make an end
Of every fearsome thing
No stitch to undo
Molecules in dwindling trails
Cold, sharp words with comet tails
A porous love
A sidewinding route
Broke both wings in the fall
Graceless at the sight of the flaw
Time’s a hole
A monster’s maw

The Mouth
03:12
|
|||
|
Time is the hook
Bloody the mouth
Pour like a lava flow into the path
All burning branches go but don’t come back
Time is the fang
The clockhand claw
The bones in their bodies
The cell walls and nerve sheaths
The signal in the meat
Reverberate
Time is the trickster, smile and all

Spinning Room
01:29
|
|||
|
Bad blood cell
Hot wire
Burn on, burn on
Thunderous the coming lub-dub
The cracks are flowering
And all hellfire climbing up the pipes
No route but the one
No grace
No mending stitch
|

Axon
02:13
|
|||
|
Slyly combustible
A barb at root’s tip
A length of rope
To hang the whole character with
No love the love of opposites
Just a twitch of the nerves
Oh, howling head
Oh, woozy guts
Oh, rosy red eyeballs
(Spine’s a fuse curving southward in me)
From spark to bomb
It won’t be long at all
(Signal set to blaze every inch of guts)

Fang's Length
02:19
|
|||
|
Buried under layers
When it was a notion the heart fluttered for
Weapon in the hands
To fend off purveyors of grand falsehoods with
Worm in the fruit
When it was candy the mouth watered for
Lips can feel the scar
End to end, the length of those long zipper treads
Edits altering
Old versions like dots of a blood trail behind
Venom in the gland
A fang’s length from the nearest bloodstream
A rib to guard softer parts—
The bold, troublesome heart—
From the arrows its known
|

Blue-Eyed
02:35
|
|||
|
Feel it in the fault lines
A slack in every stitch
All the atoms islands
Volcanic and adrift
Blue-eyes sons and daughters
Flicker in bloody wires
Oh, I know they’re shining
From the shadows they let fly
All the map lines sway
In and out of the ocean’s way

Fauna
03:05
|
|||
|
Howling fauna
Patchwork swaths of human on an animal frame
Four words when summer came
Glued/unglued it all
We poured through the prism wall
In spectrums that neither saw
But saw by ever after
No light beyond the next footfall
No magnet’s pull from either pole
Four words the only road
Black as hot new tar
No comet, moon or star
Shining on where we are
Hovering like halos
Chicago shoreline
A shift, a shove, an easing incline
A storm that rained four words on everyone
Punctuated by lightning bolts and wind
End here, and there begin
A new thought come to get us

Wolf & Crow
03:32
|
|||
|
Sun bleach my love
Wind beat my love down
What’s inside is outside now
Wolves claw my love
Crows caw my love out
What’s inside is outside now

Dinosaur Bone

Dog Tooth Scar
01:18
|
|||
|
Annihilated or just plain elated
We bail the waste
Glimpse of the bone in its bloody home
Before the scab sets the skin in place
The color changes here
The texture changes here
