in the beginning
no distinguishing sign
heat and desire came upon them
the first seed of mind.

took my first breath
and i learned my name and place
i knew i could find my reflection
in someone else’s face
then before me, your eyes-
a book i read a thousand times
much like me you were
searching for the other
back and forth, we’re so unsure
still moving one another
never near but getting closer
feeling for that secret door
it’s the place we’re going to
returning to our old address
standing weightless
once again fearless
you’re young, we’re out all night
kissing hard by the wall
we step inside
back and forth, we’re so unsure
still moving one another
never near but getting closer
feeling for that secret door

tabula rasa
05:21
|

standing outside my doorstep
leaving
i’ve nothing on you, nothing on me
i know i know more than before
still
tabula rasa
facing it head first left a scar
bleeding
getting it right takes a good fight
and though i know more than before
still
tabula rasa
i stop and ask
a million questions
a thousand people
nobody knows and
nobody gets
how do we do what we do the best
stepping into a crowd of strange
people
nobody moves, nobody sees
i’m facing it head first, no more
dreaming
getting it right takes a good fight
i know i know more than before
still
tabula rasa

made you look
04:07
|
|||
i know
i’m seeing things that you can’t see
but it feels like there is less of me
the world hidden
in whispers,
strange geometries
i recall
i beg your pardon (i buy some time)
flip channel to channel
i don’t mind
scattered faces chattering
so familiar
“look up look down, love”
“look at the door — you owe me more”
i know
i’m seeing things that you can’t see
tomorrow
you’ll be cruel and loving
and every day there’s less of me
but I made you look.

birth

|

here
a cell
a spore
(inevitable)
a speck of soul
fragile and colossal
after the long wait
now
a spark
an impulse
the world increases
insides coming out
innocent and holy
after the long wait
we don’t understand
this place
incomprehensible
these bodies we wear
tearing and stitching
young and unsteady
we’re doing it anyway
you
is not
you while
wrapped in this cocoon
a bright blade leads the way
out of you, into you
a sacred spectacle
whispered, confessional.

love
03:30
|
|||
it’s in everything i know
it’s the color of mars
it starts a life and ends it
it never stops
try to hide it from your heart
dig it a grave
from underneath it calls you
don’t be afraid
who can do that
call it by its name
how can we know what it really is
when none of us see the same
it’s a lie you’re feeling
you don’t know it at all
kept in the dark, under the sun
circling round and round and round
maybe it’s not the act of it
but only our longing
that makes us all martyrs
of its divinity.

collapse II

we see two interiors
split screen
there’s a tunnel that runs between
these houses
such a lovely situation
a perfect geometry
two circles meeting
at the borderlands
