For my sister Amparo Maria
Is it a question of faith?
One lie looks like any other
It's either truth or it isn't safe
The mind is big, it's a lonely place
Amparo Maria
Is it a question of pace?
My door can't hold for much longer
Looks matter most when you're out of breath
Limp in the leg and cold in the face
Amparo Maria
Was it a question of fate?
For some the ride's a lot smoother
So what if there's a trick to escape yourself
Then run out in the light and join the parade
Amparo Maria

Eyes across the fire
Warm velveteen soft to the touch
Fever sings what no-one ever wants to hear at first
Elemental heat flashes from you
Always a craver
For all that's whole and full
It singes tips of fingers
It means to speak Power to Truth
It wants to walk in nameless
And take us both out for a tour
Of warrens and heather, of muddy boots and common yews
And have another, one in another too
Witching hour
Waltzing stomach and the pull
Of dancing fire
the candle burns right through its fuel
Nowhere safer, senses on a shifting floor
Make another journey through the Killing Moors
Bite through feathers
For the milky flesh and bloody mess below the waist
Crush resistance and explore

Is there anything left to show?
I don't care, I don't know
September came and went
Summer in tow
And left us shaken at the cost of it all
Somewhere over the hills and plains of yore
Reigns a sweetness bound to no oath
Is there anyplace left to go?
I don't care, I don't know
We met on mountaintops
Before the Plague showed
And lost us all with no moss to find North
Somewhere over the hills and plains of yore
Reigns a sweetness bound to no oath
I don't care
I don't know
If there's anyway for us to make it back in time for more
More rain-swept hills and plains of yore

You'll never get away
Others will but you won't get away
Watch as we disappear
You don't have what it takes
Some do but you don't have what it takes
Watch as we disappear
We the sane and the brave
We the ones born to play
We don't want it and yet
Away we go
Up or down, east or west
Not the how nor the where
Matter much to us as
Away we go
You cannot get ahead
Most can but you cannot get ahead
Watch as we disappear
With a spring in our step
At a quickening pace
With undoubtable grace
Away we go
Up or down, east or west
Not the how nor the where
Matter much to us as
Away we go

Deirdre
She has some R tistry
But sadly no memory
Of it is she is supposed to be
Deirdre
Had one epiphany
Threw loved ones in the sea
Cold-hearted? Not for me to say, you see
The girl knows
1-2-3 we waltz on
Honey! Pack yr shit up
Walk and no refund
The girl is free to run away
Deirdre
Sweet sun & harmony
Come whole and full and fancy free
That's who you are supposed to be

So much of all this is simple battles
In a wider war waged on the sentimental
Unsuspecting sort
There is control, and then there's control
Fire on those who stay home
Against the cursed small things full and whole
In a wider world staged for the sentimental
Unsuspecting us
There are censors and there is control
Fire on those who stay home

Green all around me
I came to with a start and a wonder
The very fabric of nature has a note at its heart
The key doesn't matter, nor does the melody
It's a pitch with a pulse, it's a tone in my ear
It's a flask at my hip, it's a river at my feet

210515 ¬ Ne Pas Tomber
04:16

|

|
Il ne faut pas tomber
Call it never once or twice
Et si tu dois tomber
Make it so you won't react
They will send us away
Out of mind + out of sight
I don't know these children
They weren't there when I moved out
Fleeting scraps of pensée
Bombing weddings when you're high
Straighten your tie Sonny
Or they'll see you're no friend of mine
Et comme s'il nous fallait
Lend any credence to their plight

Soon you’ll say how we never do anything together anymore
Ah see
What you don’t know yet is I’ve booked us on a canoe retreat in the summer
I did not want to go
Also you don’t like water
Yet here we are
Now full like I haven’t felt in all my years as a labourer
My craft it’s hewn from a single oak by Iron Age revivalist campaigners
And now I don’t want to go
Your thinkings don’t hold water
When yes then no
Don’t feel like you have to go drown yourself in what her tides run when low
Don’t feel like you have to go drown yourself in what her tides run when low

For Marie
Old, blind, I'm not he who finds gold and silver beneath the sea
Still, fortune found me
In her wake a smoke of memories
Song of love, I don't know? I may be a fool
Row, row, have no fear
We have weathered far worse storms and stronger wind
Song of love, I don't know? I may be a fool
But it's the least I could do for you

210701 ¬ Isolation
02:58
|

Raise a finger, point it to the stars
And the non-Euclidean plane of the night sky
Show 2 lines meet always not sometimes
Show your working out, end it with a clear-eyed summation
So one knows it emerged in isolation
I’ve found myself, I was right there all along
Just round the corner from a certain nowhere
It has been years and miles
Of near-misses and solitary trials in oscillations
And though I may have strayed as far as isolation
I’ve reasoned myself out from isolation
So take me home
Just know it emerges in isolation
We owe it all to chance and isolation
Orphan idioms and isolation
And though I may have gone too far with isolation
I’ve reasoned myself out from isolation
So take me home

Legislate away the strain and be prepared:
All is fine and discomfort will come in bounding waves
Wager on it making it to end-of-play today
All is fine and meaning comes to those who stayed and played

We go to parties
Your neighbour's parties
The summer's here and the days are long
The night so warm you can't be alone
Sing a song to the end of time
Down in one, what is yours is mine
Rev'd up, socks off and ready to grind
We go to parties
Your neighbour's parties
We'll juice the evening and we'll seed the ground
Hold on one another as we stand
We'll sing a song to the end of time
We'll postulate, we will prose and rhyme
There's no way you're getting sleep tonight
Shake down, wake up, we go to parties
We go to parties
Your neighbour's parties
Sins of the father, duties of the son
Meting out the noise, doling out the sound
Sing a song to the end of time
Down in one, what is yours is mine
Rev'd up, socks and ready to grind
Postulate, shout, prose and rhyme
There's no way you're getting sleep tonight
Shake down!
We go to your neighbour's parties

210815 ¬ Oh! To Father
04:18
|
|

So goes the tale / the rumour
Old codes hold one like a father
And they say "what of the trail of paperwork and old souls"
White pebbles on the terracotta floor
Mild terror on the morning after
Seeing that a moment was enough
To transform all and oh! to father
But smile once on a baby
And old codes melt fast and completely
And sorrow finds other burrows
Wherefrom it metastasises in year-end shows
Slowly ebbs and slowly flows
In cavities where sorrow has never ebbed and never flowed
Goes and makes it home, wherein it sets out to root
And fester
So goes the lowdown, the wisdom
It's all bull, most of it is I know
A narrow sense of the weight, the purpose
I'll carry high and low
Oh! to father

09:00

Whistles in my ear
Both imaginary and real
As soothing as they scare me
Immaterial and thin
They're a falsehood not a lie
A disgrace if not a crime
And the rolling hills roll on and thunder awaits
Where would I end up if not lead by you
Found if not discovered
An ascent if not a climb
But whole if not entire
And erect if not upright
A joke if not a farce
Just a look if not an eye
And the rolling hills roll on and thunder awaits
We knew there'd be some words and that we'd lie too
But where would we end up if not lead by you
Numbness if not absence
Corporeal and ghostly
In a quarrel not a row
After prey if not quarry
There are real and non-existent whistles in my ear
And the rolling hills roll on and thunder awaits
We knew there'd be some words and that we'd lie too
But where would we end up if not lead by you
