Copernicus: apogee
05:09
|

there was something i thought
but now i forget
something significant
i get distracted by stars
i lose focus too easy
faces lose their shapes
light meets shade
through crack of broken lens
some days
everything i see makes me want to cry
and that's when i turn to my telescope
it tells me the paths of mars and venus
are stored up inside of my spine
unwound nickel
refracted lens
i await these visions alone
splitting clouds
halley's coming home
let's bake a cake and watch the sky fall
i should have paid much more attention
but i ain't a believer
now i can see parallel lines
of spines and scopes and terrors inside
just could you tell me
please could you show me the signs
i wonder how do the orbits remember their lines
and how did the sun know the earth was one?
let's walk up these heights
let the rocks fall off the side
i see the moon focus your face
i want to remember you this way
by demons be driven
i wish that i knew what i know now

Copernicus: perigee
13:55
|

no one knows a star
no one knows the stars
you couldn't explain
why moons can go astray
and comets know to come home
watch the stars
they never go away
wake the sun and close the light
untuned dagger
entropic swell
waiting only makes it hurt more
and leaving your gun under the pillow
won’t make me go away
no one doubts a star
no one doubts the stars
close the light and leave it inside
this constellation had a dream tonight
i cracked my lens after what you said
i put the moon on your soft skin
we took this star
we watched the sky
look away from the light
remember when i said,
i don't know anything about astronomy?
no one doubts a star
no one doubts the stars
wake the sun
hold it inside
let the light sleep in our bed tonight

Es ist ausruhen eine schwarze grube in mir, die sich mit allen meinen verzehrenden und zeigenden des nichts aufühlt. As ob eintönigkeit und plackerei ist die einsiger hierpunkt auf mein dunklen lebens wegen gewesen wahre. Und davor habe ich angst. Sangre Hirviendo. Hirviendo Sangre.

should a week among the races
proud as though we make a face to
while away beneath a halo of stars
ask the traces out the weeks
and force the wake of toothless seekers
watch appall the waste in their arms
is my name in your breath?
i follow a trail through the dark
that way i'll know
my words were blank
i chased your ghost
we walked through walls
i've locked the door
lets go to sleep
earth shades
mark the place
we once lay
summoned forth and turned away
memories fade
and all erased
light has stayed
but your name
was not replaced
in the wake of the dead
i'll remember your name
never forget
a light will remain
i won't leave you lying there
without a key
the door was left unlocked
to keep you safe
out of the rain
from the cold words they will say
that's all i wanted
i meant no harm

Reseda: books of blood
19:55
|
|||
who are you? why did you do this to me?
a grail is set upon the moonlight casting down
the place we set upon your eye
this room is much too small for what we had in mind
we’ve got a secret that can't wait one more day
the moon is dark, wait
the moon is dark, face the sky
oh why had they never told you?
oh, the subduction
enveloped within waves of rock
blindfold now removed
imbued sickness is not forgot
to forgive these faults
the seams of the earth will one day conceal them all
welcomed cracking plates
we are all well beyond the dawn
used to be such beautiful cities
now just an inherited fall
listing in water
myopic and gone too far
lyell’s misfortune
impatient with glacial rock
tonight set sail for andromeda
save yourself, save your sister
point that gun away from me
and back at the alien voices who terrorize you
face the sky, light the clouds
close your eyes, give me your hand
turn these pages of archangelic heresies & books of blood
who are you? why did you do this to me?
repeat the spell that parts the veil upon your words
archangels
books of blood
