she was raised by snails
in flooded gardens
slowly moving and barely floating in sunshine and rain
turns to salt and mix with the water
i never saw her as death
dream in the dry season
the future known and feared
it's seen as all the corpse lands swollen with flies and dead birds
all the bone dust she breathes setting slowly
i knew her as the death girl
it was the thing that was
the thing with the voice
that opened up the ground and healed minds and stopped the clocks
it repeats and she follows and we stop
i never knew them at all

a gloom girl's lone lantern light
in black clothes t-shirt and skirt
reading books pictures bad eyes
motion flickers close by light
fidget sitting motion
something very quiet
sit still and
keep breathing
still be quiet
keep still breathing
fall asleep and
then wake up and
still be here
keep still and
keep breathing
keep being
large film describes backwater glacier slides on glass down and over me in amusing coils and swirls and roller coaster motion small animals watch delighted jumping up and down and they wave to me it's all joy
sit still and
keep breathing
keep silent
keep breathing
still breathing
be still and
just lie still
under glass

darling blood crawling out
with sharp fingers
faint clouds in the distance
some dust or smoke
darling born to water
deep or shallow
clear dark forms underneath
thoughts and dreams
the days and nights that never dies but still bleeds
there is a light that burns in the black water
it wants bodies it wants life and it calls out
and it's never silent and it's always there
darling blood much too close
please come closer
so much closer to me
careless and torn
darling ruin someone
with bright sharp eyes
burning in the water
still and content
darling monster
unseen creature drowning
please be with me please go
take me with you
she can't leave she's sinking
ghost thoughts stirring
blood runs down her fingers
the sea rising

the broken moon shivers and blinks her silver bloodstream ribbons flutter
there are bloody streaks across the sky soft edged red tears breaking clouds
ribbons flutter stuck in trees struck by lightning
frozen caskets drift through space towards empty earth
filled with corpses' dreams and wants
she watches them break and burn beneath her
the pulsing skies bleak rattle song reaching out
the furious and bloody beak of the future
snapping at our eyes

Lies Bleeding In The Sun
04:06
|

grinding stones to find the way home
static glares at the meager sun
drying slow like clay dolls
close to the ground like frost
while red plants pour dry water
hides in old tape recordings
tired limbs rest on warm rooftops
calm nights gently stroke their skin
soft slow tired and boring
love found in all the details
chaos moon like wildfire
lies bleeding in the sun

moon beams on your head
like a lullaby
better tomorrow
and worse in a week
a ghost holds your hand
helps you cross the street
who are you alone
where to go but home
some flowers grow on the moon
and some die in the sun
leaving and laying down
in whatever light found
you don't want to live here
with all this around and inside your head
so where did you leave your voice
lay still in the water
wait for it to calm down
the sun will bring you home
you don't want to die here
with all this around and inside you heart
you're sleeping growing flowers in the bloodstream light in the drowning light
and you know the sky is falling and the sea is rising and the sun shines forever
what is left what is there to give and to have and hold and cherish and share
daisies on the floor
voice tired and weak
and you hate it here
can't go anywhere
a ghost holds your hand
helps you cross the street
who are you alone
where to go but home
what have you done to the moon
her light dim and bleeding
bloodstream ribbons falling
there is lead in your eyes
you don't want to live here
with all this around and inside you head
you are numbness and panic
as blood seeps through your clothes
something's wrong with your eyes
dive into the water
you don't want to die here
with all this around and inside you heart
you're sleeping growing flowers in the bloodstream light in the drowning light
and you know the sky is falling and the sea is rising and the sun shines forever
what is left what is there to give and to have and hold and cherish and share

The Drowning Voice
04:15
|

the faint stars
haunt the sky
and the moon
sees them die
and she will
weep and weep
while they all
bleed and bleed
it wants love
it wants life
it is here
where she dies
and the moon
weeps and weeps
while the sea
bleeds and bleeds
