Doom disappears Through the crimson abyss Out into the mind Moon disappears Through collapsing waves Rise into the mind

We are matter and energy, and phases in between We advance and retreat, and fall astray We take form and divide, and split in two We are two in one, less than and equal to We are more than this, and more in time We make the time and try, to keep in time We stop the clock then let it flow, and never slow We are all that we know, all that we can ever know We send for you, no matter who or what We make room for you, and set a place for you We prepare for you, accept you as you are We take you and I and you, and they and everyone We are more than this, and more in time We make the time and try, to keep in time We stop the clock then let it flow, and never slow We are all that we know, all that we can ever know, in time We are all that we know All that we can ever know We are spirits that die, and mortals that live We are the mind inside the brain, never again the same We are the eyes and ears and nose and mouth and skin We are all the same, no less than the rest

Always Never 03:17
Not the ones who live here Not the ones who died Not the ones that move without thinking Not the when, but the who Not the then, but the now Not the ones that think without moving But the ones who accept Everything, Who enter it And who allow it to enter them Who see without looking Speak without talking Who feel without ever touching Never knowing The great unknown Always dying and always reborn Never knowing the great unknown Not another geography Not a place on the map But the life and times of the people Not the lies of the fables Not the liar at work But the truth of the dreams that let us see Not the stories unstable Not the way that they kill But the people dying for them Not the insects, not the fire Not the howling wind But the flood that becomes the truth in time Never knowing The great unknown Always dying and always reborn Never knowing the great unknown

Starve a Rat 02:51
Starve a rat, bury your trash Travel far, behold a whale Read a book, dye your lips Grow old, circle words you love Plant a garden, between the storms Never stop writing, until it ends Unsubscribe to media Contemplate food and where it’s from Love people who speak your name with love Brush your hair and braid it long Plant a garden, between the storms Never stop writing, until it ends Sleep outside, next to trees Transcend, brew good beer Breathe water, play the drums Dance at dusk, paint in pink Plant a garden, between the storms Never stop writing, until it ends Save animals from human teeth Run for office in your hometown Live outside the house you live in Break bread within your head Plant a garden, between the storms Never stop writing, until it ends

So many misfortunes wrought upon the world Mainly by the troublesome, yet useful, species of creatures Raised up by the ancient trees of the deepest woods Never succumbing to the shackles of our systems of restraint Illuminated beings living adventurous desperate existences Extolled in stories carried and repeated from cave to cave Passing from the shade of the sequoias to the shore of the bay To the boats and the rivers and the wayward trails Rumors about the old species approaches extinction And with them the nightmares of the frightful imaginations Bizarre wardens of the darkest woods, now hardly remembered Resembling the miraculous monster of forgotten lore An enormous titan slumbering beneath the still waters of the lake Horrifying in its sheer immensity and girth, a leviathan Its maw, toothsome and gaping, terrifying to ponder Its eyes both dark and dull yet full of seeping menace Still, something is there, something prehistoric, a shadow Curious, reaching out, resisting, with long, spindly limbs Compelling the creature upward, on to the shore, awkward Swaying forward, losing balance, lumbering to the edge of the trees Upon the world Species of creatures Deepest woods Never succumbing Desperate existence From cave to cave Stories improved Passing from the shade Wayward trails Approaches extinction Frightful imaginations Now hardly remembered Forgotten lore Slumbering beneath A leviathan Toothsome and gaping Dark and dull Something is there Reaching out Onto the shore Swaying forward

Proprietary 03:04
Three times we saw Twice the skin as before The kitchen crammed into A world of hoots and hollers Unbuttoning and tumbling Lightyears on a string Particular and vast No delusion, no self-pity Loving all things rare Phenomenal observation No malice and no fear The virtue in the sin The naming of the other Remembering the human The swooning of the flesh Dancing heads and strutting Twice as eager eyes Swimming in the moon dream A vivid trance that writhes Around the wound inviting

The leaves are leaving The cold is getting colder The old are getting older Fisticuffs of Autumn This will not pass so easily Bruises that no one can see Except for me and me and me No one can see except for me Ascend and descend Again, again and again Ascend and descend Again and again into the end

Nail 02:04
There's a nail lying on the ground Tread and tread and tread upon Nail stood up, the boot meets pain Never, ever, lay down again Stand Up Nails Stand up Nails Stand Up Stand up Dead lying down on the ground Broken down, and tread upon Dead stood up, the truth seen plain The body won’t die, for you, again Stand Up Dead Stand up Dead Stand Up Stand up There's a nail lying on the ground Tread and tread and tread upon Nail stood up, the boot meets pain Never, ever, lay down again

Misery Whip 02:35
Nothing wishful, This sharpness Unfriendly, All himself Nothing bolder, This meanness Who he is, Useless The noise of silence, The people calling Shine a spotlight, On the mechanics Making it, This sickness Here it is, No mystery Tantamount, To perjury Equal to, A killing spree Killing dreams, Killing trees Killing us, Killing them The noise of silence, The people calling Shine a spotlight, On the mechanics Making it, This sickness Here it is, No mystery Nothing noble, No wonder Side by side, This misery Nothing noble, No wonder Side by side, This misery

Enough hatred Enough violence Enough lying On an any given day Killers preach against murder Hateful preach against hate Warriors preach against war On every single day The ones preaching for love, do not have love The ones preaching for peace, do not have peace Enough preaching Enough knowing Enough lying On any given day Takers against taking Thinkers against thinking Lovers against loving On every single day The ones seeking crowds, are nothing by themselves The ones seeking love, do not love themselves Unable to love in full They believe you fail to love They hate you for your love A perfect hatred for your love Enough average Enough “genius” Enough killing On any given day Different against difference Artists against art Makers against making On every single day The ones preaching for love, do not know love The ones preaching for peace, do not have peace Enough preaching Enough knowing Enough lying On any given day Takers against taking Thinkers against thinking Lovers against loving On every single day The ones seeking crowds, are nothing by themselves The ones seeking love, do not love themselves Unable to love in full They believe you fail to love They hate you for your love A perfect hatred for your love Hate you for your love Perfect hate for your love They’re crying out for love Crying out Their hatred Like diamonds Like falling stars Like knives Like mountains Like waterfalls Like swords Like teeth Their hatred Like burning flames Like freezing rains Like blisters Like boils Like peeling skin Like crushing bones Like crying out Their hatred Like ashes Their hatred Like dust Their art Crying out Their art Crying out

about

As you walk at dawn along the boundary of the Great Forest, lungs stinging from the night-chilled air and boots slickened from the fresh morning dew, you hear a thundering in the distance. First far, but nearing, you soon see a magnificent and enormous dark-haired beast rising above the treetops, stridden by two clear figures directing the creature through the wood.

Recognizing though scarcely believing the sight your eyes behold, you shout before your mind can intervene: “They have tamed the irascible Un-Named One! How and when did this happen?”

Terror grips your throat too late, and your words ring in the creature’s immense flopping ears. Her riders observe your fright and reply, “Fear not, and hear our song!"

--Robert Dahl
