Askew Anew
02:59
|
|||
|
Everything that I know
Falls apart so easily
Mortar and all
Askew anew
And thoroughly so
A crux in flux
Forever revising
But always certain
Molecules all filled
With their own ruin
We’re sure filled with ours
With room just for love
Only ever come and go
Surge, recede
Sure and tidal
Eroding the edges
Askew anew
A mote in the flow
A crux in flux
Without oar or anchor
Always floating by

Mutilator

Split and peel me
To reveal me
No seam to seal me
None fit to heal to me
I’ve got a hole in me
I’ve got a hole in me
We grow around it
We stare straight down it
We scream into it
No sound gets through it
Annihilating
Eviscerating
A wound to wade in
The shoreline fading
We shrink beside it
We’re withered by it
We plummet through it
No bottom to it

Little Islands
02:59
|
|||
|
The gutter takes all
The rain away
And our heads are islands
And our holes take the air in
And our hearts take the blood in
Until they’re fit to burst
Until love floods every wire
Until every nerve is charged
The signal sailing through
And the waiting over
|

Bloodstreams
03:15
|
|||
|
In the minutes as they slow
Blood in and blood goes
Our love’s the current then
Message in the protoplasm
An atom’s length
Our love is what it meant
Then quietly divide
Soft and cellular
Over and over
So little fate
Such a roll of the bones
Make it stick, make it stay
Hazy shape with a long way home
|
||||

Sill
01:30
|
|||
|
In the room
Your body moving
Back and forth
But never staying
Length and width
But never deepening
Dead bees on a dirty windowsill
All at once
The pattern ending
Colors fixed
Where light is dimming
The bulb is out
The door is broken
Dead bees on a dirty windowsill
|

Burning Satellite
03:46
|
|||
|
Needle eyes in a
See-through sky
One am I
I gaze out
I go by
Round the route
Long the loop
Faint the light
Come to dive
Meteor-like
Tin on fire
Coil and wire
All alight
When I hit
What is left
Will abide
Love spreads out infinite
We screw down, we narrow
|

End Of Orbit
02:07
|
|||
|
End of orbit
Slow we come to rest
A great new gravity
Paid for in weightlessness
Hold me close
Feel me nervous
Some ways static
Some ways mutating
Snug in the spiral of
The shell we grow in
Coil me around
Press against me
Some ways quiet
Some ways rioting
Just to feel the throb
Come through the vein
Hear me clang
Hear me rattle
|

Burnt Paper Rose
03:44
|
|||
|
Red on tile
Gray on all that black
Beats spike
Pixels flutter this way and that
I believe I know
I alter as the knowing loosens
And now tetherless
Between two poles
Spinning free as we go
The route’s a zigzag
As steady as a scar
Splitting all of us in half
Ears afloat
On both sides
A map in motion
With points that drift
Until they settle in place
I believe I know
Though each notion
Changes shape
And changes meaning
|

No Coda
03:22
|
|||
|
in the name that we fix
to the notion at last
in the way that our mouths
fit the sound flitting past… in the sound!
in the blues, in the pinks
in the swaths and the splats
in the shade and the shine
in the code as it cracks
no coda coming
in the blood through the wire
in the air as it goes
in the shape as it shows
no coda coming
in the reef on the wreck
underneath the fish and flow
we are anchored so
|

Light Speeds
04:30
|
|||
|
Worms come in
Worms go deep
Worms make holes
In bottoms of feet
A line’s a hole
Touching tip to toe
And we all pour
Through its center
Eventually
Oh I will
Marinate
Oh I will
Marry late
Love’s a code
That carries on
When the body’s gone
As pale and pocked
As the moon,
When white light
Speeds through the opening
