Polestar
02:31
|

|
In the anarchy and all
An island’s edge
A floating form
A floe
At sea at last
And we two riders
Riding on its back
Each a crescent reef
Joined, a circle surrounding
A love that lasts forever
Or lingers long enough
To have a shape
A shore
A shadow
I love you
I made a compass of you
And when the waves
Obscure the way
I’m sure to find it
|

2. |
Edges Adrift
02:10
|
|||
|
A groove in time
Or forever grind out sparks
No bones inside the shape of what we are
And all my love billowing out
And all my love tunneling in
From that uncertain edge
|
||||

I Fly, I Flow
01:16
|
|||
|
Heart thud
Blood go
Bolt strike the snow
I fly
I flow
Ascending so
|

Bees & Wasps
01:17
|

5. |
||||
|
All night, spirits surrounding
Some stick like smoke, some hover free
All night, sinister sounding
Words come and go in the air over me
All night, dreams draining down
And away from me
Gone in a flickering sleep
|
||||

Body Takes The Shape
01:17
|
|||
|
Vessel for my future ghost
Bent to bear its weight, I go
Body takes its shape and shows the route
A layer gone and one to go
I leave the lack, I love you so
I fork with the path
I haunt it at last
A layer gone and one to go
I leave the lack, I love you so
I double back, I barrel by
I blow through the arc
I end in a point

Mutants, We
02:39
|
|||
|
This path’s pattern mutates tonight
Abruptly deviates tonight
An errant spark re-routes the arc
And sends us off
This half’s return to where it was
When diverging aims divided us
Is imminent, is infinite
Is a flowing thing
|
||||
9. |
Vines & Moss
01:27
|
|||
|
Our bones will grow us back
And we’ll have eyes like little flowers
We’ll have roots that hold us deep
I know, I know
It’s the Earth that moves
I know, I know
It’s these revolutions ’round
That angle us in orbit thus
Under these trees
We’ll be the vines and moss
We’ll be the vines and moss
I know, I know
It’s the Earth that moves
I know, I know
Not me, not you
Our clouds will shrink and swell
And we’ll have stars that shine all night
|
||||

I Have An Evil Notion
02:15
|
|||
|
I’ve an evil notion stirring deep
I’ve an evil notion down in me
I’ve an evil notion stirring
Come a dire commotion, wild and free
Come a dire commotion inevitably
Come a dire commotion, wild and free
|
||||

Squid-Like
01:51
|
|||
|
Oh, wheels turn inside
Gear teeth inside
I know
All my wires
Pulsing squid-like
Against the pull
Of the hours and days
|
||||
12. |
Bike Ride
01:58
|
|||
|
World goes, we go
Chains circling slow
Looping right around
Small in the eyes of the birds
Small in the flow of the beasts
Blues, greens, sunbeams
Doesn’t it sometimes seem
That we just burst with love
Small on the crust of the world
Small in the curves of the swerving path

Megaloptera

As go the birds
So too go I
As go the bugs
So too go I
As goes the world
So too go I
As go the fish
So too go I
As go the flowers
So too go I
As go the worms
So too go I
As goes the world
So too go I

The Twinge
02:10
|
|||
|
A cell the spark
And doubt the anchor
Vast the void
And doubt the tether
In the gills
And out the gullet
Heaven high
And doubt above it
A heathen’s halo,
A hole over
A heathen
The whole we know
|
||||
16. |
Brine
05:23
|
|||
|
Drape the notion on bones
And we’ll hold it up
If the notion alone
Isn’t grand enough
Jawbone, spine
Bottled in this brine
So little time
Tiny gears clicking clock-like
All muted inside
Jawbone, spine
This machine tonight
And less translucent,
Will hide what happens
On that other side
|
||||
17. |
Faint Objects
01:51
|
|||
|
All the love
All the grace
Like two faint objects in space
Their light takes millennia to reach
This deepest, darkest breach
These holes in each
The sound goes down
The sound makes shapes inside
Where secrets twitch and incubate
And fears are formed in liquid state
And joy’s a cell about to split
And we’re the home that’s meant for it
Rays coming down on us
Rays coming down
All over everyone and everything
