1. You Without End
[Nadia Kury, spoken:]
"He pained, shifting his attention toward the mirror across the road. Back into his daydream. The spliff burned his fingers the second he drank, and he tossed it toward the gutter. The smoke burned into his eyes, blinding him. As he blinked through the tears, the pain began to recede. Back down the promenade and homeward bound, as he approached the intersection of Brooklyn and Lakeshore, a flock of geese burst from the darkness and flew, shrieking into what was left of the evening."
In a dark tunnel
New dawn approaching
With a sphere of light ever glowing
Let it go as it grows on forever
And we breathe it in
And then the world will grow
And then the world will know of you,
Of all things love, of all things true
[Nadia Kury, spoken:]
"He looked up to watch them form a ghostly Chevron with flashes of white from their exposed chest, blinking like so many eyes. Crossing the street drenched him in fluorescent light, and he quickened his pace until he reached the softer light of the street."
Let it go as it grows on forever
And let it go
Let it go as it grows
Breathe it in
Let it go as it grows on forever
And we breathe it in
And we breathe it in
And then the world will grow
And then the world will grow
And then the world will know
Of all true love, true
2. Honeycomb
Shadows extend east
And Cortazar
Stares at women
Shuffling by who blot their lips
From violent men
And say, "God bless you."
From violent men
And say, "God bless you."
I sulk with pause
and loving mariachi soars
Against the red and yellow tents of strangers
Shout!
The red and yellow tents of strangers
Gifting geese
The ends of bread
The ends of bread
The ends of bread
8, 12, 13 hours
8, 12, 13 hours and
The people keep fighting for sleep
The people keep fighting for rest
I'm reluctant to stay sad
Life beyond is a field
A field of flowers
A field of flowers
Life beyond is a field
My love is a nervous child lapping
From the glowing lagoon of their presence
A field of flowers
My love is a nervous child lapping
From the glowing lagoon of their presence
A field of flowers
My love is a bulging, blue-faced fool
My love is a bulging, blue-faced fool
Hung from the throat by sunflower stems
Hung from the throat by sunflower stems
Sunflower stems
3. Canary Yellow
Staring out onto the earthly pottery of
Pottery of existence, climbing light
Climbing light vines to heaven
Clay ribbons descend
Swirl downward against
Staring out onto the earthly pottery of
Pottery of existence, climbing light
Climbing light vines to heaven
Clay ribbons descend
Swirl downward against
Downward against metallic swell
Go sail, go sail, go sail, go sail, go sail
Downward against metallic swell
Go sail, charmer, altruist
Staring out onto the earthly pottery of
Pottery of existence, climbing light
Climbing light vines to heaven
Clay ribbons descend
Swirl downward against
Go sail, charmer, altruist
Who immersed in thickets
Hugged in cloth
Evolves into charcoal
Worshiped by the drifting macaw
The lady finch
The lady finch
They swoop and croon through the air
Dip their feathers
In the death paste of ash water
Go!
I have wondered about the language of flowers
and
I have wondered about the language of flowers
And you, elaborate mosaic, greeting me
Gentle, the swamp takes my ankles
On and on we choke on an everlasting
Handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
Wild, wild
Wild, wild and fantastic
wild and fantastic
An everlasting night
Handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
An everlasting night
Handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
An everlasting, handsome night
(My lover's blood)
My lover's blood rushes right through me
(My lover's blood)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
An everlasting, handsome night
(My lover's blood)
My lover's blood rushes right through me
(My lover's blood rushes right through me)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
An everlasting, handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
(My lover's blood rushes right through me)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
On and on and on we choke on
(My lover's blood)
An everlasting, handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
(My lover's blood rushes right through me)
On and on and on we choke on
On and on and on we choke on
An everlasting, handsome night
My lover's blood rushes right through me
4. Near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Can I rest for awhile?
Wishing you were near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Thought I saw you there
Wishing you were near
Can I rest for awhile?
Wishing you were near
5. Glint
Listening to muffled footsteps
Of those brushing
Reaching grasses
Seeing the last letters of my name
Seeing the last letters of my name
Faded and shy
Imagining us clasping hands in holiday
Imagining us clasping hands in holiday
Imagining you growing older
Growing somehow more beautiful
Imagining you growing older
Somehow more beautiful
Surrounded by your children
And children's children
The midnight blue
The midnight blue of your calmness
Evening chamomile
Surrounded by all your children's children
The midnight blue of your calmness
Evening chamomile
Eyes as a morning rosewater
Eyes as a morning rosewater
I'm
I'm shrinking into your gown
Tearing the pink linen of your belly
Burying into your abdomen
And sewing the seam of your skin
I'm
I'm shrinking into your gown
Tearing the pink linen of your belly
Burying into your abdomen
And sewing the seam of your skin
Crawl
6. Night People
[feat. Chelsea Wolfe]
Biblical sky speckled with flame
Do you hold your mother's eyes
From wetting the earth,
From weeping for those
Who reward fame to absolutes of war,
Or for heroic myths
Provided to children
Married into ferocity?
They instead witness themselves
And the black sand of your body slipped through
And the black sand of your body slipped through
And the black sand of your body slipped through
And the black sand of your body
I found myself at your side
I found myself at your side
I found myself at your side
I found myself at your side
I found myself at your side
I found myself at your side
I spied along the concrete canvas
A woman, her eyes brimming with vacancy
And bear her hugging barbiturates
Her head rolled from faint shoulders
And skipped three times
Each thud sprouting a fountain
Of splashing gold
7. Worthless Animal
With all life profane
The ladles cradling
Streams of buttermilk
Current stretch out
And alabaster lips unseal
So I may recall
The soft timbre of
Whisper in its stillness
Still
Alabaster lips unseal
So I may recall
I may recall
The soft timbre of
Whisper in its stillness
Still
Now
When a fawn
Stumbles into the road
Honeydew high
And deep in afterglow
Mind swarming
Mind small
Honeydew high
Transforming the soul
On purple sand verbena
I forgive its delusion
Caress its world view
Super bloom
Shelter canary yellow eyes
Then search to pin the legs
Of the stalking dog
That lends its teeth
To sticky, sad bedlam
War cries quake through lurching light
I bury a blade between its ribs
Bear hug the soft canine frame
Then smear ash
Then smear the ash on its brow
All who have forgotten
Remember now
Remember now
Now
Now
