what these walls with these veneered faces
a boundary of spoken of in time agreed
two parties bleeds to three in me
and the third is one
a turn of light on fabric
throwing moray pattern onto the floor
a window fogged
I leave the door open letting steam out

two in recovery makes a thing go right
two in the sack we'll make it on the skype
what is watching your adoration
fly out the window
adoring eyes almost
unsettling in their inevitable turn towards malice
womblike the ocean opens
reverse births
its a birth quake
an excelsior moment

the bear gains the glade
trees-aspens
one organ note
peels the air
it was a high sea treble
carving the space around it
highlighting the muteness of fog
there is a character laying trembling in a bath of cool milk
its wings gaining strength for unseen heights
a perspective of risen above
and seen from angles previously
met only by drones
only a brink blink to guide in that thin air
rarified and special species
met held believed
welcome back always
always puttin on a show

what are you doing with your day time
what are you doing with your morning commute
what are you doing in between times
are you building a life full of rhymes and surprises
or are you lost to your own devices
devices
its a crisis
its a crisis of faith
and i dont want to escape
i dont want to make amends
dont want to harm my friends any more
oh god damn god damn
what are you doing with your day times
what are you doing when the night
emerges from twilight
oh it descends on the streets in the corners replete with the dusk light
oh shit shit shit shit

melting point of butter
01:42
|

|
there could have been war
cried the tribunal
an earnestness in shouting
down the power and the structure
suck suckling at screens
kiddos on a gritty floor
or teens on the lawns of the world
grass green air clean churlish whirl
in a lawn chair bent off center
nylon straps tan and green
every other
the melting point of butter
all I know is 39 seconds in the microwave does it
slo roll the melted butter
coating sides of platter and cooled
and taken to be placed in front of the world
there could have been war
a sandy maw biting down and
a lip dash or gnashing sound

A mind-blowing batch of jazz-informed hardcore exploding with drill-press riffing and throat-destroying howls. Really great!
