lyrics
- The Gathering Bell
Came after a silent journey,
expanded to fibers
into the reticulation
of purest nothing.
Here, which is nowhere,
imbibed with quiet
stiffness, synapses are cold.
My mandatory relief,
a strange suspension.
The shadow of a sound,
no more than that,
the blueprint of a memory
long dead,
it woke me up,
it woke up us all
forcing limbs sewn to the dark
irrevocably,
starving ghosts.
Exposed to the setting light,
eyes that bleed,
skinned dogs bark somewhere
unrequited,
crusted with living soil the soles
of bare feet,
flesh falls apart from us mongrel beings.
Yet we carry on,
pitiful bags of bones,
the echo of bells smears the nightly cold,
half-tone need that draws us.
In silence we secretly come back.
We stand amassed as a sea-beast,
arms to the skies
as tentacles, antennas longing for light.
The sound won't get nigh,
it won't call us home:
and there we are drowning
back to the senselessness of ourselves,
to the stiffness of the immutable,
the impulse will now stop
a whirlpool to nowhere.
