the sky struck down splitting the skin of the earth today.
then, God peaked down from his perch
as if He had anything to say.
Oh sister, where have your dogs run wild?
Oh sister, when will the wrongs retire?
------
He will eat from the heart that is giving
We will sleep at the end and beginning
She will teethe on the bones that were mending
We will sleep at the end and beginning
------
If everything was clean like it was before
then maybe i could eat the sun right off the floor
if everything were to sleep like a stone;
if everything would host as a home
if everything was ghost instead of bone
then everything would be just fine
------
i can feel the end that's coming
you can hold the only holy
ghost that sings into the night
the night, the night
i can feel the end that's coming
you can hold the only holy
ghost that sings into the night
the night, the night
------
take off your clothes, it's time to sleep
the message post sings to the sea
let off the coast, its time to breathe
take off your clothes, it's time to sleep
take off your clothes, it's time to sleep
take off your clothes, it's time to sleep
take off your clothes, it's time to sleep

this house still sings
04:57

i woke up in sweats alone -
swimming inside this river that sank into my bones.
its freezing.
No! I can hold my own!
this house is brimming and soon will overflow
as it always goes
is this what you want?
is this what you are?
this house still sings!
though nothing is heard!
is this what you want?
to get rid of it all?
well this house still sings
to nothing at all!
is this what you want?
i'll sink just like a stone -
ghost-thin in undertow.
my bed flows endlessly in quiet comfort.
I am alone.
and i'll sink just like a stone -
ghost-thin in undertow.
life is low, you are alone
life is low, you are alone

steady ground - hold what fills me.
silent sound - a sudden ellipsis.
the hymnals dropped south
oh, how the belly churns.
all the heavy mouths
sing to the earth, all alone.
if only i could recite the litanies...
i can't remember what filled me
steady hold - you cut the language out!
Wood and bones!
i can't remember
i can't remember
i can't remember
i can't remember
lets sleep together
lets eat the river
we'll sleep together
we'll sleep together

entrance to medicine
05:38
|
|||
|
i felt nothing
i felt something pushing me into the depths
of a hopeless romantic, singing insects of absence
with unanswered questions - despite all the evidence
we need to know who killed that little boy
swinging and motionless
no sensory action;
just enough to find one shiny door
clear eye in the sea became an entrance to medicine
it sucked all the dark from me and up-swallowed me whole
i could breath
deep and slow
your poles became twisted and gravity shifted
into what i don't know
sweet melodies mixed with dark memories
flushed my meaningless, bright, fleshy skin
he opened the entrance with soothing vibrations
i followed the wolf back in
just like he wants me to
i found myself in cosmos - a separate dimension
that's flowing so softly killing every part of me
so i ran
i ran until my brain collapsed
shocked by an impact that would change a whole nation
i opened the ending and screamed in the silence

and embrace
04:58
|
|||
|
the sunken stone calls out:
"its my own fault"
i wrap my arms around
my shins
and. embrace
the litany sung out:
"i don't know who i am anymore"
i swallow the seasons
and. embrace

put your hands around my throat
do you feel the end? light as snow
take a breath, deep and slow
make it last - here we go
i'm out of my mind, i'm out of my way to find you
i'm out of breath, i'm out of my depth without you
i watched the surgery, they cut her up.
i watched her bleed in and out
i combed her hair, soft and blind.
did you feel the bones - yours in mine?
i'm out of my mind, i'm out of my way to find you
i'm out of breath, i'm out of my depth without you
not too tough, not too kind.
rest assured, you'll be fine

i can see your bones
03:37
|
|||
|
you are an empty skeleton
and i am not alone
you are a black-out ghost and i am hollow bone
cover me softly, i could never dissipate
(i have sinned, i have sinned,
i never learned how to talk)
one thousand letters in a box cut late -
(tuck me in, tuck me in, i am an uncomfortable)
you can pour the dirt in my mouth - fill up all of the holes
i want to feel as real as real is - sound the holy host
sing to me lovely, tell me all about the golden gates
(i have sinned, i have sinned,
i never learned how to talk)
one thousand letters in a box cut late -
(tuck me in, tuck me in, i am an uncomfortable)
I am you and you are me in this grave we carry to the yard
we love and breathe like parasites who eat
the only hosts they've ever known
forgive me for i have sinned
please don't please don't forgive
i don't want to be a ghost anymore

childbirth, counting
03:04

a mending cusp works as you sleep
quietly covering eyes - skin will break youth
in the dark you'll birth a light
small, soft and a lone she g o e s
through
one day you'll feel it all.
split the face with a cold stone wire
blinding the sun, she's drinking fire
to blind out the whales, she waits
to find out the self, she hates
crying knives as she bled out -
gathering dirt and disgust from the eel house
i'll comb her hair until the dreads out
streaming the flesh out of bones she g o e s
through
one day you'll finally see
one day you'll have a baby

changing

Sedna sings to the belly
as we point to the teeth gone south
and without a home, i'll carry
and without a bone, i'll bury,
and without a face, i'll stand
and without a will, i said:
I am Changing.
I am Changing too.
(syd)
Take Me Home - to the belly
with These Bones - that I Carry
Take me Home - to the belly
with These Bones - that I Carry

sinking the old home, a white belly spring -
into the ocean i pissed on the street.
what do you know? what do you know of me?
what do you know? what do you know of me?
into the clouds, a soft belly rolls.
into the clouds, all meaning will hold.
into the clouds, a son will turn gold.
into the clouds, i know we will go.
the suddenly seas split the lies and the wake
and the water in my lungs streamed down my face
so i'll ask you again - what do you know of me?
i'll overflow in the endless seas
as better is not better, as a stitch in the seams
and nothing will change but the luminous glow in me
(what do you know, what do you know of me?)
(what do you know, what do you know of me?)
into, into you.
into, into you.
