Under Stones
I am terrified of this dark thing
That sleeps in me
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.'
-Sylvia Plath
(1)
What would it take to
Tap into me, The World ---
A great Mother-Tree.
For I am sunk beneath stones
An infiltration of what you
Cannot see ---
I am at this very bottom,
I know how you fear me.
A transformational ruse,
A standard of legacies;
Wrought by curiosity.
How I meld into this fray,
Dug deep by moles under
Roots that are risen,...
That sleeps in me
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.'

Get On With It
Why don't you
get on with it?
Why don't you
say what you came to say?
Then be on your way
A torturous game
You know everyone by name
Every dirty secret hidden
down to their deepest buried
shame
Time for blame
has come and gone
Only thing left to do now
is STAND as ONE
There's always a choice
Choose to use your collective voice
and tell the Devil
FUCK OFF
Just go away
Don't give him what he wants
Don't give him what he wants
If you don't give him what he wants
maybe he'll be on his way...

La tristesse
spoken]
It's like the old Dutchman van Gogh said
After cocking and releasing the lever:
La tristesse durera toujours.
The sadness will last forever.
[sung]
Low-down tired & fed up with the life I'm livin'
But they say what makes a man's
The way he plays his hand,
& not the cards that he's been given.
But I'm low-down tired,
So long since I felt the fire,
I'm low-down tired & fed up with the life I'm livin'.
Feel like I'm fadin' & I spent so much time hopin',
Barin' my brain...

Emotional Scars
It is not the physical pain that hurts because that goes
Away after a while. It is the emotional pain, etched
Across your skin even as you tried your best to close
Them up and did your best to move on. They stretched
For miles and distances nobody else would even begin
To understand. You cannot look back and think that
You should have done things differently. Life does spin,
But there is no comparison to what kept you flat
On the ground when you felt the pain and blood
Seeping through your skin down into your bones.
It was like dragging...
Away after a while. It is the emotional pain, etched

You should have done things differently. Life does spin,
But there is no comparison to what kept you flat
On the ground when you felt the pain and blood
Seeping through your skin down into your bones.

Time
Time is irrelevant
Counting down minutes
When the universe
Is timeless
Ashes inside
Waiting to
Float on the breeze
Of endless
Wandering

turning the page
majestic mountains that move so magically
shimmering specs of gold that flash so quietly
and there it is again that spark
reignite the fire that kindles our warmth
its form unchangeable in the cold
shape and shift catching a lift and I drift drift drift
take away
and where was light when there was not yet day
and where did the darkness dissolve wen the night turned gray
and how vast the ocean lies,
as you plunge through the depths and the sea begins to rise
let it all come undone
and you will see truth my son
and where will...
shimmering specs of gold that flash so quietly
and there it is again that spark
reignite the fire that kindles our warmth

shape and shift catching a lift and I drift drift drift
take away
and where was light when there was not yet day
and where did the darkness dissolve wen the night turned gray
and how vast the ocean lies,

Beyond good & evil
like rusting leaves
upon sacred ground
love rests bleeding
in the hearts
of the lost
& drowned
love burnt
at the stake
of anger
& hate
engulfed in flames
of persecution
& pain
one by one
all the meanings
become meaningless
& all the figurines
of flesh
& blood
finally break free
from their holy books
& flee from
the clutches of truth
upon sacred ground
love rests bleeding
in the hearts
of the lost
& drowned
love burnt
at the stake
of anger
& hate
engulfed in flames
of persecution
& pain
one by one
all the meanings
become meaningless
& all the figurines
of flesh
& blood
finally break free
from their holy books
& flee from
the clutches of truth
