I Feel
03:50
|
|||
Plumes haze my footfalls,
ancient exhalation, exhausted and new
Dust cakes my extremities,
hungry for salt, sweat, testimonies of life
A thin veneer matte with earth,
skin buried, powdered with mire,
warm with loam
Ragged breath and quiet, quiet
Shunpike carved from concrete,
familiar cabala
Isolated in the crisp wild, I feel the three
Eyesight failing
Knowledge sizzles through my veins
I feel, I feel, I feel
The heavens will not yield
The atmosphere will not split
Electric blue sizzles the horizon
The three melt into air
Breathe, breathe with equanimity

Great Teacher
05:24
|
|||
Amber skates atop water like glass,
weightless like gliders
Celestial foliage blooming cadmium and lemon,
flooding me, drowning in violent lemon seas,
awash in light, tinged with oxblood
I despair the vacuum, I welcome the volume,
the flames elate my slumber
Ripples drag the sun, gravity distorts the wave, (Sufer)
every particle, an ember, shivers of sparks
Stars born of the vastness, pinpricks against the night,
jealous to fill the space, voluminous candles burn
We glide, we glide on slivers, slicing pitch
Bamboo resists my shoulder blades from below,
the fluid lilt surges on,
its power comforting, rhythm sways
Teach me to swim, great teacher
Bearer of worlds
Host to volumes
Teach me to swim, great teacher
Calm climber
Tranquil sage
Burdens dissolve, skeletons tossed
I dissolve too

Oil And Milk
03:24
|
|||
Grayscale cotton shrouds the valley,
oil and milk dragged through the alto
Bristles of white the boundaries,
sponging lightning along the periphery,
weaving sugar, christening the rim
Blurring the brush’s grazes, intermediating
The blue - ocean, haze,
pure agate and sapphire - I’m content to drown
Powder caps (the) Sierras, talc adhearing to mire
Ponderosas creep through the drifts,
they assert their station, entrenched in
Rolling collosi,
empowered with earth and mass,
ancient protrusions, dwarfed barely by gods
frozen dusts Mar their jagged horizons
Their teeth textured with soil and grit,
awash in oleander and porcelain
Pinpricks sizzle my skin, mindless but brutal
razoring through my organs with shivs of ice
I am apart, I’ve abandoned the assault
Sheltered by metal and plastic,
a refugee from storms
Lakes like glass pockmark the basin
Sing Sing Sing
Grasses spear through their ceiling
Pillars of life in the static
The blue - ocean, haze,
Grayscale cotton shrouds the valley,
oil and milk dragged through the alto
Bristles of white smudge the boundaries,
I am apart I am apart
sponging lightning along the periphery,

She Is Vitality
02:09
|
|||
I’d never seen the sun, now I’ve drank her molten streams
Unknown valleys, spiderwebbed with arroyos,
newly engorged with tidal swells
Sprouting Verdure from seedling to windswept plain, vivified
Rutilant, Her coals glow like oxygen stoking ember,
solar flares combusting through my veins,
traversing horizons like crawling mist
countless sunrises crest my blood cells
The Milky Way collapses into obscurity
Swaddled with tubes,
multi-limbed and encumbered, iodine mediating our touch
She is power bound with cotton
She is vitality,
She is breath anew
She is fresh lungs
issuing challenges to the atmosphere
A billion points of light coalesce
A singularity is born
I have seen god I have seen god I have seen god

The Golden Temple
04:39
|
|||
Lanterns glint off the Sumida
Lavender curls to blush, blending in refraction
Strain deadens my arms, thick and unyielding, dense like clay
Wet and wear prune my legs,
Steering my path askew
The city unfolds from the water,
Its Concrete melts away
Underneath the bridge, trains thunder overhead
Buildings sprawl infinitely, tiny teeth below sky tower
Asakusa demons dance in rivalry, snow embittered against summer
Ukyo-Ku, luminous and forested, murky waters placid
Shinjuku presents her galaxy, a chrome cadet staged with ore and grand keys
Time after time after time whispers through the air, reverberating off glass and enamel: an easy sway consoles the onlookers
He welcomes us with the anthem
The initiate slink downstairs
We descended
Machinery accosted with neon glistens in the isle, penciling lime lasers into the night,
Rimming the gattling chambers with precision
The goddess pilots on, the corners of her lips climbing. She rockets her horns heavenwards, implacable
The golden temple tears across Kyoto’s sky

Volcanic shores blacken the precipice
The bank marred with impositions of austerity and charred cruelties
A swelling archway promises deliverance,
It’s path outlined with brilliant liquid flame
Warm and pulsing like malice incarnate
A pillar presides midair, suspended by ectoplasmic Lappets dragged limply through the sway
An ebony globe hovers its Mount
A glass pupil
Chartered atop a many-legged vessel, its formless helm
Crowned with antler blades and chiming tassels
A seer ghoul rises, immutable, enshrouded in weathered maroon, sanctioned from sully and brine, cruor beneath his station
A pyre spits smoke and flame out his nostrils, yellowed eyes dim and resigned
A wicked sythe fills his grip,
Glowing runes emblazoned across his torso

Nature to all things fixed the limits fit,
And wisely curb'd proud man's pretending wit:
As on the land while here the ocean gains,
In other parts it leaves wide sandy plains;
Thus in the soul while memory prevails,
The solid pow'r of understanding fails;
Where beams of warm imagination play,
The memory's soft figures melt away.
One science only will one genius fit;
So vast is art, so narrow human wit:
Not only bounded to peculiar arts,
But often those, confined to single parts.
Like kings we lose to conquests gain'd before,
By vain ambition still to make them more;
(Each might his sev'ral province well command,
Would all but stoop to what they understand.)

We Still Starve
01:55
|
|||
Find the seam, bore the split asunder
Tear limb from core, bubbles choked out from under
The ravaged shore irie, prickly with hazy coral
Fingers strained, grasping, skewered and petaled like floral
Fields, aromatic with pollen and warmth
Juvenile stalks splinter the earth, tendrils crawlin
Into slitted skin, fine charcoal lines spread
To enrapture every living droplet, the wound seldom bled
We still hunger, we still starve
We claw and bite and beg to carve
Some small sliver to call ours.
Strong nuclear force, sex hope and gravity
Forces bending space and time, singularities in our cavities remedies, baravatities
It's all bark and terror and blood and lust

All Ember
02:34
|

Through the horn gate,
crystal honey chutes weave fresh dendrites in loose soil,
fork-tongues spiderwebbing dross to continents.
Glowing amber lacquer bronzes all surfaces,
each serrate beaming, every granite blazing,
barken scales breathing hazy furnace yellow.
It gleams with Midas’ touch. All ember.
We are made of dreams, weened on Promethean Sun,
one ignition separated from tooth and claw
