lyrics

Haplology, I said haplography
This world is so lacking it could do with two of me
The impetus for my impiety: religion is lying to God
Truth is throbbing in the stars & that’s what tall tales are not
Flushed like snot, shot from your nostrils then killed on the spot
You use your vessel as a pestle on your spirit
Make a mockery of our sedulous pointillism
The lurid greys necropolise & lustrate
Ghouls luxuriate, hands holding souls that luxate
To escape the hate impervious to the pearls of saltwater on the face of a girl
Lunisolar, unipolar, equinoctial
The best I can subscribe is the message in the bottle
Seeping porraceous dust effervescing
The fish & suns I’m seeing…accio astrolabe
What do I want? A pedate female
To potentiate my who-shall-inherit bits
Who’ll claw at the gauze thick as doors
Whose heart roars for barefoot on the foreshore
Exiled from my skin as I’m feeling
Trapped further back & the strings unreeling
Extort an exordium from the demon
Tales of the aftermath, rails on the riverbank
Heads recalesce & shit on the howdah
Orion’s club gets ground into powder
Me won’t forget so we will remember
Inquietude exudes & distends us
Saltatorial days are fading
Afraid of the rack ‘cause my brain is abrading
Truth is inodorous: it just is
& this mess is pungent, miasmic
Fate is a harlequin
A racist goblin, faceless & cackling
Amputates its handshake with your has-beens
Salting seeds with its ambergris
Halting trees & sealing the interstices
In her it breeds…in him…in-between
Novelists vomiting promises of immortal dreams
We’re obscene
Oleaginous phalanges
Slide in with ease, grab our cortices
& squeeze with a morbid intimacy
A tender touch, minacious, done to corrupt
Among my sulci is where I face the music
That’s how they guarantee our silence
There’s no need for a threat of violence
When our will to resist is smothered & squished
Tongues are prehensile
Can twain or twine, covert or divine
Silver or ophidian, blurring the meridian
Ideologies adrift on blood rivers
Battered by the katabatic, cry decapitation
Astigmatic, grasping at porismatic equations
Granite cores of sky potatoes
Soare as a wing-ed, weeping wound
Soon I will be soothed
When the cuts are through I’ll fashion new routes
Sculpt the mess, prune & digress
Express the mash & catch on hanged threads
Clinquant nooses asterisk the bruises
Pluck peahen to press, please don’t be prudish
My pavonine strutsteps ghoulish
Bipolar patter to splayed on a platter
I am an atom of humanity
Rooted by the gravity of subjective reality
Unknown rebels defiant before giants
Disparate generals forming an iron alliance
United against the banality of evil
We each appreciate the sexiness of resilience
They number billions, corpulent, bilious
Corporate, hideous, thumbs are vermilion
Fingerprints look pretty in ink
With dainty feints they twinkle & wink
In subtle slights, I cry for their lines
To whisper wistfully through the dark times
Prim as a rose whose folds touch my nose
& hold my torso close & also pour prose
You, them & me will see polysemy
Kill, frill or thrill we’ll still feel it freely
Matriculate & bite on this spoon
It’ll all be over soon
Crows kill hope & clovers spread
The obscurities float over your head
Cheeks pull apart & plea the four leaves
Murder breezes through the trees
Still, ghastlily you wish time will freeze
‘Cause after “me”’s always an uncertainty
Non-arboreal chimpanzees
Restrained intellect Earth’s prevailing disease
Failing sheaths I feel I must be the one who entreats you to please never breed
Give up contemplating the grave for lent
Also chocolate raisins & Racing Club Genk
Your grape: fecundate, defenestrate, unbox it
Don’t leave dreams dormant as coreopsis
