lyrics
Experience this body
Blood furtive, a ruptured tissue
I want this out of my body
you are tar to be emptied
I want this out of my body
sensitive gums, a fear of disease
rotting, grafted, teeth falling out
this body has moved beyond desirability
brief, that window closed
desire remains, a concept, abstract – not to be expressed
to disconnect from this body
to unidentify with this body
to not feel sadness when this body sees this body
to accept this body as this body is
what is it to experience this body
without the gaze and guilt of capital
Dispersed potential
in memory my body is warm
breathe in and breathe out
breathe in and breathe out
moments pass
this moment has passed
foxing in both shape and form
it goes unnoticed
disappearing in tall grass
all that remains
lines and symbols
geometric patterns
tremendous beauty
what is my breath
a haze of seeds
dispersed potential
soft breeze and sunlight
water through stone
and stone through water
all that remains
lines and symbols
geometric patterns
tremendous beauty
the form that remains
unknowable
outside of time
separated in circles
unchain the chain
all that remains
lines and symbols
geometric patterns
tremendous beauty
written in stone
spanning endless
dividing the sky
Biologic scale of time
sing to the earth
lay peace upon the ghost
grow grass tall
for the insects that sing at night
ripple in growth
scattered in the wind
a new bloom
dancing the trees
roots into water
roots into earth
for now there is now
the biologic scale of time
beautiful and hateful
a wall of tree and cloud
Six of cups
the crucible of non-routine
an ongoing state of encounter
not an island, but something worse
a bruise of unknown origin
birds light broken soft long flight
hybrid cyborg something new
walk on earth and exist above
birds entangle a wind of words
the mundane wonder of every day
birds light broken soft long flight
moving beyond our concerns
moving beyond our consciousness
six cups open to the world
to be a part to be a node
birds light broken soft long flight
Conservatory
an afternoon storm
thunder and wind pass
smoke in the air
a remnant of rain in drips
breeze against the face and bare arms
calm of trees and grass, flowers, birds
all tranquility surrounded by a city
it is heard but not seen
joyfully alone
a river of small trees
tall grass in the breeze
the slant of the rain
the smell of the rain
Muscle in chest
blood blooms on white tissue
grip as intended, dry follicle skin
body secretion, liquid shit in the end
repeating spasm of muscle in chest
itches through body, scripts across surface
float above space that never sleeps
fulfill potential, be eaten, return to energy
this body connects to that one
that body connects to this one
all together as one
over the edge we go
Who made this and for who
a distance lost in smoke
sky, horizon, ground
blur together in gray haze
the crickets quiet and low
grateful for all insects that sing
leaves sing in friction with wind
trees silhouette against sunset
sheet rain and breeze on skin
blue glow through thinning clouds
over ocean, cloud to cloud
over water, flowers above
who made this and for who
