Lockjaw

one or many none but a few
the tricks and traps we set to drag you through
so don't look up at the window
where faces loom
so don't look up at the window
i pushed you through
night sight
day blind
all the pieces marked on the floor
with sticks and stones and bones and open sores
they told you don't go down there on your own
they told you don't go down there
all alone
night sight
day blind
tomb
with your finger write your name
with your finger feel your shame
down in the dirt with the centipede that grins
this oubliette will make your marrow thin

Milk

i bled the sky
then i watched the ocean die
we are relics of a time when
all the stars spit tongues of fire
into the night
all you sinners all you sinners
on your backs
oh how the spines just pour
white light
where the milk flows
there wash my bones
where the milk flows
white wash my
i bled the sky
then i sucked the ocean dry

there's plastic wrapped around your thighs
you've wire taps instead of eyes
the serpents spit their tales of war
the tubes they feed under your door
your plastic potency
you feed between the cracks
strap all your enemies across your chest and back
you arm yourself the payload burns
from red to black
your plastic potency
you feed between the cracks
with weapons raised above her head
she comes to wake you from the dead
subcutaneous injection
public display of infection
your plastic potency
you feed between the cracks
strap all your enemies across your chest and back
you arm yourself the payload burns
from red to black
your plastic potency
you feed between the cracks

Cortege

|

you tied me to the lightning tree
you kissed my lips i couldn't breathe
you touched my face you combed my hair
when thunder came you left me there
i must not walk into those waves
where shallow depths are never safe
i know those jaws they wait for me
but where they swim i cannot see
now sleep

this is the bottom
pay no mind
eye slits hollow
gone are mine
are we forgotten
i don't care
feel us crawling
everywhere
cast asunder
as the sun goes under
we were absorbed
we were abhorred
we were exhumed
we were adored

Mandrill
08:02
|

i fold myself around
sightlines
a sight betrays a sound
four times
wires cross wires
four times
sightlines
four times
i throw myself around
sightlines
a sight betrays a sound
four times

Verdigris

just like the sound of the chainblade
as it turns around
and the buzzing humming
humming buzzing of the blade
he made us stay for the game
for just one mistake
now we'll never have another lover
but the blade
come here where we're
where we have all been waiting
under choked weeds seize
we see without the feeling
don't feel just need these
why don't you ask the others
sea green unseen
my sisters and my brothers
cast your nets
cold and wet
every eye is on the bower
no fear down here
now we are born cold embers
conjoined maligned
now we must sink or sever
taste me the sea
the nemertine surround you
face down all drown
and finally i found you

The Unthinkable
11:51
|
|||
hear her whisper
don't look into the waves
break
water wants to claim my name
sirens seaweed
her tendrils fill my throat
choke
suck out all the hope
roam alone
sharks and shipwrecks
surrendering abyss
mist
distances and
this is not salvation
claim my name
all the ocean wants to
steal my breath
all the ocean wants to
here in those waves
where all the tentacles
fill my throat
here in those waves
we're all identical
void of hope

Qaanaaq

a hole in the ceiling of the world
they strip my brothers for meat
grease-slicked mouths
call out from the shore
annual columns of muddy light
spiders on the seabed
