about

An entire section of the song not suited to the solo acoustic format is missing.

lyrics

six leagues long the shiver runs,
rippling every reflection.
all the self-aware unknowns
of their spots upon the dome...

queen of mis-en-abyme––though out of sequence––
shines subtly like sequins through the bleakness,
as my myopic dreams fade to kaleidoscopic kinds of closeness...

a waterfall of dresses meshes...
refresh to palest pinks while blinking on a mattress...
statuesque in the flesh––completely arresting iridescence...

clumsily the stars and sea smear and smudge...

messages in bottles spun...
vestige, holy accident...
people of the lost city
increasing velocities...

angels at all angles that fall, bedraggled––
stragglers zig-zagging like particles in stars’ sickle arcs,
fickle marks out on larks that might fix us on the water...

i'm pressed into your chest and cherishing
the crash of your crests, and your warmth and its breadth,
with irises intimate, locking-in above our buckling knees...

suddenly the sounds and seams come undone...

[part that was completely left off this recording: extended orgiastic soloing]

wading knee-deep in a mirror...
never thought you'd find me here...
cirrus kiss, calypso tryst...
from cocoa leaves,
depart with grins...
at the Hudson River bend, the glass––it broke!
oh, bridge, belay!
pants rolled up as the wind rises,
whippin' hair across your face!
