Sense

in constellations
we swim to shore
and in the sun detect
a high disorder
we sing all night
in sense obscure
empty vessels
in the streets
a dictionary
of unused terms
that we breathe obscure
and when the stars
like errant darts
or ants inverted
rain down obscure
we show up empty
vessels to be filled

Avarice, Merchandise
03:19
|
|||
|
it's only a moment
enough time to fear it
you can move it
but who's gonna steer it
is it modular and changeable?
is it gloomy or desirable?
is it modular and changeable?
a generous shark
is that what you are?
a dangerous lark
from settlement to settler
you can follow if you think it's wise
you can follow to your own surprise
avarice, merchandise
nothing's gonna give
a chance is gonna come
you can see me with clear eyes
you can see me with clear, cold eyes
avarice, merchandise
follow if you feel my pulse
follow though it all proves false
avarice, merchandise

Quiet Years
03:53

when you call me over
i hop right in my car
i put on a happy song
it doesn't last for long
but i've loved you all along
the night has got me feeling high
the air is heavy
i can barely breathe at all
driving past the mall
got the radio on
i spent quiet afternoons
across the quiet years
i sought quietude
and in the afternoon
wept quiet tears
came a fly, a quiet buzz
in dappled light and air
vanished into corners
of quietude and gloom
into dark i dare

Mouthful of Ocean
04:15
|
|||
|
on a floppy raft
with a mouthful of ocean
got a foldout map
and a page of english instructions
i will get my satisfaction
i won't take no wooden nickels
when i thirst i think
i wanna cry out to someone
when the plastic leaks
gotta keep it to the top of the ocean

every arrangement will be made
to ensure their comfort
their families will be cared for
in their absence
and Universal Humanity
will follow them
with prayers and blessings

The Suitor
03:21
|
|||
|
he plays a crooked violin
lying down in narrow straits
burns the notes you fold for him
and flies a flag of hate
he says that knowledge tastes like death
when he's got you in his parents' car
concern, desire, and percocet
spraying syrup at the stars
he steps out on the dock
and the moon
looks like the shadow
of god

Feelers
03:26
|
|||
|
i put my feelers out
but get no touch to sense my place
this is my cross
and of this bitter cup i taste
in the evening blitz we get to
shape the fury as we wish
placing faith against form
and in the salty wind my words are lisped
bleeding through the page
purple sky at dusk and all my
assault rifle enemies
secure in my trust you got to
tell me who sells you these
bleeding through the page

Cascade
04:01
|
|||
|
in my room there swings a string
from a naked bulb
i make up my face by wiping dust
into my tears
cascade, turn the knife
black day, a letter from a friend
someone set me in clay before the roots
take hold
don't shoot just yet
i need to falsify myself

he followed her
to amesbury
to edinburgh
quebec city
he followed her
to bar harbor, maine
and spain
he followed her
to a set of doors
through which he could not pass
apples
raspberries
and words

Another Story
04:19
|
|||
|
summer on
library lawn
she made him swear upon the name
of his favorite song
oh, the moon
rushed like a flume
it never ends
it ends too soon
but you don't need another story
he said, "you don't need me, do you?"
