Misery reposes in woven light
as I rest in blue-eyes Europa’s starless chest
Birds flock around the old plum tree
in the garden behind my childhood home
The shellfish rose from the pond
Tearing holes in the sky
and swam away
into the naked twilight
And I was intoxicated in Dutch liquor
losing my mind in clouds and soil
Staring through black holes
as Amsterdam crept out of my mouth
The immaculate glow of 2004
Her and Her
in both their different miseries
Now rejoiced in death
And I saw you take off
Amidst one hundred white birds
Caressing the horizon
Nursing the twilight
Kissing the abyss
Ascending to the embrace of clouds

Then die with me,
Sun dweller!
Oil mountain!
Queen Meat! …
Sleeping in blood rivers
Reaching for the traitors
Flesh coloured
and rigid
Eyes like owls
and ladybirds wings
Feasting on space
and swollen time
Falling
through two dimensional spheres
Blackened realms and light-floods
Once again receiving winter
from every orifice of the abyss
Cold,
bitter
and bleak
I smell your thunder
and the scent of rain
My house is too weakened
for flies and books
Where is the Spring
I learned to fear
with all my heart?
And where are you
in all this mess?

Greet The Dawn (For F.)
08:08

My german shepherd and I
stood in the courtyard
and saw the sky tumbling down
towards us
engulfing my childhood
in a strange loss of time and sense
And her calm eyes told me
not to care anymore
And somewhere in the distance
the roosters greet the dawn
But the fields are barren
The forest is dead
The lake is drained
The stars are gone
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
Still I hear the sound of thunder
Pearls raining on silk
Beneath the clouds I waited
in the winter of 1985
A ghost, a thief and a mule
A shadow of all the things I’d never be
And my mother carried me in her arms
far into the warmth of solitude
Where cartoon satans laugh at the light
with great sarcasm
and 30 years of distrust
for the modern individual
There are flies in my house
and they are eating my shadow
And am I to die daily
must it be without her?
And her calm eyes told me
Not to care anymore

Black Belly Of The Beast
08:32
|
|||
|
All the ugly demons I see
in the dark
covered in rose leaves and rust
singing along to the falling stars
There is music everywhere
even at the foot of this hill
where all my fears gather their fruit
and dance in moonlight
Defiled by shame I walk knowing nothing
Riddled by life I walk knowing nothing
Nursed by remorse I walk knowing nothing
Disgusted with lust I walk knowing nothing
In a glimpse of bliss I walk knowing nothing
In the hour of my undoing I walk knowing nothing
Looking for her I walk knowing nothing
Finding nothing
Embracing nothing
Again
Truth is the plant
that poisons the well
We shall all meet our ends
knowing nothing

The Storm Bells Chime
04:36
|
|||
|
I am the walls
tarnished by clouds
All the weeping shadows
drowse in my palm
And all the massacres I saw in your eyes
And all the deformed children and broken homes
Too tired these days to dream
Kept awake by black lungs singing:
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
The sky is empty
Never mind …
The rain falls
all over the world
The storm bells chime
Beneath a conference of clouds
Beneath a wide empty
And sick dogs wear the stars
