…We are from love.
Fear is but a stranger.
From past oceans
to present earth
we shall recreate what is ours…

Little stars above us,
signals in the night.
Memories of places
we once knew.
Sounds are in the inner air,
like whispers between lovers.
So out of tune with what's around
this world.
Has everything I've ever done
brought me to this moment?
What is there for me to learn
from this place?
Floating dreams above your head
drift into my thoughts.
I recognize these motions
we've both been through before.
We have only changed our names,
and alphabets for a spell.
Playing parts in different scripts,
we're acting in a masque.
Songs are floating in your mind.
I seek comfort in the chords.
Meanings only lead astray.
Vagueness is the key.
Little stars above us,
signals in the night.
We shift through the pictures
from external worlds.
Searching for a flash
of insight.
Songs are floating in your mind.
I seek comfort in the chords.
Meanings only lead astray.
Vagueness is the key.
We reach past the images,
choosing our own light.
Inner sounds inviting us
to play.
Songs are floating in your mind.
I seek comfort in the chords.
Meanings only lead astray.
Vagueness is the key.

our dissolution runs in rivulets
down our cheeks begging
forgiveness from the hollows
of our misinterpreted lives
in our solvency, inadequacy
the pieces dissolving, the jigsaw
is a kaleidoscopic craze
in which we seek fresh patterns
to imbibe meaning into each strata
as we struggle onwards
sometimes laughing, sometimes crying
but always now apart
longing the halcyon fantasy
that marks the narrative of
our passing
you are a stingray spike through a tongue
you are turquoise embedded in flesh
an old man gasping for air
on a Mediterranean night.
Everything you touch ignites or dies.
there was no diversion from the sound
they were diametrically exposed to each other
he sat, immobilised, as the cello
drew powder from his bones
and the chanter rang the chambers
of his heart like a sonorous bell
can’t say I want the stress of your
disaster freaking up the warp of my weft
the April sun is drying out the shingle
the plane arrows the apricot dusk
I have several blessings to count
Several to curse, several to discount
Another beer to fudge the balmy
cunt and feed the bastard night alive
again to curse, to drop, to fall
Do they laugh at our freakish dance?
Surely we are casting doubts upon
The paradigms of their contrivance
For it is their ‘shit’ not ours, and
Though I do not doubt our insanity
I also consider theirs more virulent!
Ours is that of imbeciles drunk on
The scant passion of moments past
Clinging to our obsession with the
Temerity of limpets – the bastion
Of faith and faithless, dreams
Or emptiness, the sun hollers
Through the pink, some one is drowning
In the silence of the ocean

a fantastic voyage, exquisite beauty, shrill dissonance, soars, crashes, flails in impossible depths, triumphs, cries, static electricity, thin, hollow, achingly alive, incantations of human fragility and grace, press this to vinyl! i beg you!
