So welcome all
Find your place
We'll be gazing
Low, where things fall
Under space
It will be amazing
We pledge to you
No surprise
Neither fickle wonders
No, this is all
Shade your eyes
Hide inside penumbra

To Speak Truth
04:02

The gentle murmur smoothing out your shoulder
A sudden laugh, a snort to flip your mood
A comic shudder, when the air turns colder
Humming, hissing, cooing, stirring up the blood
Words of wisdom and profound reflection
Phrases ably made to lift your soul
Even paragraphs of pure affection
Rambling sentences to make us whole
Sweet and honeyed when I want your shiver
Soft and sighing when I need your skin
Never harsh or with a sneer delivered
Often moulding round the shape you're in

IMSI Catcher

I'm a watcher, eye flick, finger glide
Seeing is believing, it's my living now
I'm a watcher, focus in, look away
Dreaming is achieving, it's my MO now
She's a catcher, count click, calculate
Hearing and retrieving, it's her rhythm now
She's a catcher, zoom in, steady gaze
Scheming is perceiving, it's her MO now
Blink twice, mind shut, spell bidden and hypnotised
Thumbs dance, why not, hag-ridden and monetised
Look for matches, patterns where they congregate
Lying and deceiving, it's the rhythm now
Making masses, gone beyond the opiate
Leading and receiving, it’s the MO now
She logs glance, she checks looks, she times the beat and buys the heart,
He left clicks, he lip-licks, brain playing a second part
She counts the blinks, and muscle ticks, the self-bubble of suicide
He won't think, judgement sinks, her method is genocide
Blink twice, mind shut, spell bidden and hypnotised
Thumbs dance, why not, hag-ridden and monetised

Retrograde
04:02

Roam the plastic spangled ocean
Crew your liner sleekly laid
Dare the current, damn the detail
Set your bearing to display
Reach the hurly burly delta
Anchor her in deepest shade
Step down to the jungle steamer
Now against the water wade
Feel the tender jungle stretching
Arms to fold you in its glade
Ground the steamer, fell the timber
Paddle now with what you've made
Stepping now on slickened pebble
Climbing up the canyon's grade
Stooping now to sip and savour
Dewdrops on a grassy blade
Shuck your pack begin to slither
Moss embracing to persuade
Nothing else for you to ponder
Now at last it's retrograde

Shelter in Place
04:58

|

That long summer, under endless blue skies
You were naked, on the hillside, blazing a trail
Every hard-won acre, gave rise to creation
Landscape and plant shape were bent to your will
Finding shelter under blue skies
Finding shelter next to moist earth
Finding shelter, touching leaf mould
Under blue skies, finding shelter in place

Moon triggered a new dream
My history was unseen
My mystery was unheard
My misery was unshared
I woke up to creation
Sparks for my imagination
White pages to write on
White ink to keep the lights on
This sun looks like a new sun
The day's always a fine one
The mood's good and it drives me
The wind blows and revives me
The sky is open and streaming
Smiles everywhere beaming
White pages to write on
White ink to keep the lights on
Moon triggered a new dream
My history was unseen
That face shows me no dark mind
The words I'm hearing are all kind
Your lips offer me so much
This touch feels like a new touch
My street's mapped on a new chart
I'm stepping up with a young heart
White pages to write on
White ink to keep the light on
The morning's a new dawn
a new dawn
a new dawn
This sun is a new sun
a new sun
a new sun
This day is a spring day
a spring day
a spring day
The moon is a good one
a good one
a good one
