green silence
03:23
|
|||
hold on, sister.
water dripping through
the cracks in the wounds
will reach you soon.
all the hidden faces of the moon,
and all the little fishes,
and the rattlesnakes and voles
will gather at the surface,
and you will find
a green silence.

garden of contrition
03:46
|
|||
i got lost in time, i did, but i
found the anomaly.
a little cross-eyed ambidextrous
child in gethsemane
oh, what could i have spoken
to obviate its sacrifice?
i obtained a glimpse of diamond light,
the wealth of divinity!
an ever-piling hoard of glory
reserved for those with eyes to see.
oh, how could i disperse it
among the sea of blind fishes?
the clear water,
the word hovered.
i planted a seed of love
in my garden of contrition.
i've done all i can,
but i don't know what happens next.

lamb's fading wool
01:47
|
|||
deep within the cardinal vein
a tower of decisive upset
there i was delivered into the
clutches of the demon gwiltol
the wind rebuked it coldly
it mustered through clenched teeth
i have governed this place of darkness
for seven lives
i have wrestled for absolution
but i cannot meet
the serpent's gaze
here in the heart of sheol
a sickle lies
butchering shameful bellies
and feeding on the gaps between
the lamb's fading wool

lemon pulp
01:42
|
|||
how could i have left it all to chance?
but i did.
i couldn't see any other solution.
still, it was overgrown with reason
and structured like a molecule.
i am forbidden to taste
the fruit of endless paradise.
i am required to sit in lemon pulp
as a sacrifice.

alabaster fool
03:05
|
|||
when i rose
i took it all up with me
as far as i could tell
and when i fell
oh, it all fell too
i placed the living bread
inside the sepulchre
i touched the outstretched finger
of the alabaster fool
i have wavered so long
i've forgotten the color of stillness
the reeds are turning yellow
have i flown too high?

murky water
04:35
|
|||
it was enlisted by the wolf.
it saw a new star forming in the heaven
but it could not comprehend.
clothed in a fig leaf,
it philandered with the cherubim.
what am i going on about?
perennial abstractions
leading me around in circles!
what is the end game
to all of this white light?
milennial delusions:
this time i'll escape the cycle!
oh, i only wanted to make the sun brighter,
but i had to sink to the bottom of the
belly of my doppleganger.
oh, i'm a little always unsure in the murky water,
but i can remember the fiddle in the
valley of the evergreen trees.
