lyrics

radiatin’ weakly… speak to me through these seashells…
overwhelm me, sweet thing––drown out bell tower’s hourly swell… well,

all i could do
was pray for you
to bolt from out The Blue…

all my stars are burned out, i ‘s just waitin’ for the news…
we found filament farmhouse, bloomed beneath its blesséd roof... and

so in lieu
of a fixed fuse:
the “night light” of your moon...

fertilizin’ fresh nerves, caressed forth on the threshing floor…
the pressure and the gestures… buds burst in the mud, thirst for more… but

goddamn The Blues––
embrace the hues!
until in grace subsumed…

cremation, cross-pollination of the fates far flung…
yet still under the gun, the pendulum like an ax swung… it’s

a word you knew,
that bird that flew…
a pin to a balloon…

shower steam opens up nostrils in gardens of green…
passages are perfumed, waft above the curfew freely… those

spaces abstruse
where lace was loosed…
the warm clouds rise, occlude…

time is overflowin’, you’re flushed out in the run-off…
diving board bends, buoy bell rings, and the echoes cross… i

think Noah knew
one thing––no, no! two!––
about a world renewed…

the inner sanctum is not an incinerator,
it’s an off-center soft sensitive tilled field.

it’s not smoke, it’s ashes. still, the ghost i can’t grasp is
what splashes the placid lake––memory.

fog up all my mirrors, dear, write just what you want in them…
hauntin’ abstract concept of hot breath…

underneath the ribs sensations are twinned––
that’s Original Sin, where nerve endings
begin.
