Warning Thorns
04:41
|
|||
Muscles clench all
Statuesque
Thoughts that flinch will
Strike your chest
Stability
is
Fragility
Half awake in
Soft repose
Til noon breaks all
Your shadows
Fragility
Is ability
To be reborn
To be with scorn
Molds enfold
Cold warning thorns.

I Am A Symbol
04:41
|
|||
A shifting wind
Thought rescinds
Don’t suffer me
Since apathy’s
Brutality
Self erosion
Is an ocean
With shores that
Cannot stay
Sidelong glares
Binding stares
Eyes that howl
Never knowing how
Symbols and signs
Are only designs
I am a symbol
I am a sign
I am signified
I am signified

Debts to Pay
04:17
|
|||
Reclining beside rocky cliffs
And staring at the sun
Declining any estimates
Regardless of the sum
There is a truth
I hear you say
If full of ruth
And debts to pay
Stumbling through all my pantomimes
In offesinve defensive poses
Tumbling down all your rocky shores
My shape will decompose
There is a truth
I hear you say
If full of ruth
And debts to pay

EPILOGUE
05:34
|
|||
Creaking bones
Soundless moans
Eye that blinks
Chain that clinks
Day gone by
Lullaby
Sun that sets
Before I rest
In peace
Mirror flaunts
Dreams that taunt
Hopes resign
Ropes that bind
Each dawn breaks
Thirst unslaked
Sun that sets
Before I rest
In peace
The fog that is my epilogue
Obscures any chance of a cure
My story stops before I end

FEAR BEING UNDERSTOOD
03:54
|
|||
Inability
To be
To tell
The truth
Unaware what silence means
Empty space
Mind restrained
Fear being understood
Do not speak
Do not move
Regret misperception
Can’t explain
Too late now
Oh humanity
Wretched
Righteous
And inhumane

We are all nothing / we are love
A handful of dust / universe
Our moment of joy / always fades
Our eternity / dust to dust

First came chaos
Like Hesiod said
And earth
From parts
Coalesced
With love
Came darkness
Came night
Then brightness
Day sky mountain sea
We are love
universe
We are all nothing
A hand full of dust
body without organs
Pierced by lines of flight
Segmented, stratified
Becoming-this
Becoming-that
Never having arrived
We are love
Universe
We are all nothing
A hand full of dust
body without organs
Pierced by lines of flight
Segmented, stratified
Becoming-this
Becoming-that
Never having arrived

Return
to a waiting
Contemplating
Debating
Endlessly
Conflating
Beauty with need
Decreed
A decayed form
desire
That drains entire
Return
to a waiting
Contemplating
Debating
Endlessly
Conflating
Pain with inability
To be
To tell
The truth
Oh humanity
Wretched
Righteous
And
in-
humane
A way alone
A last a loved
A long the Riverrun,
Past eve and Adam's
From swerve of shore
To bend of bay

I create experimental art, music, and writings of various sorts. One of my primary themes is anticulturalism, which I approach from many perspectives, despite its ultimate impossibility. Another major concern of mine, is that, if McLuhan's proclamation that the medium is the message is true, then, in order to have new messages, we need new forms of media, new modes of communication ... more
