01 Moon
as the lukewarm hands of the gods
came down and gently picked my adrenalin pearls
placed them in their mouths
and rinsed all the fear out
nourished them with their saliva
now i’m all rejuvinated and rested
now i’m all rejuvinated and rested
as if the healthiest pastime
is being in life-threatening circumstances
and once again be reborn
all birthed and happy
all birthed and happy
all birthed and happy
all birthed and happy
best way to start-a-new
is to fail miserably
fail at loving
and fail at giving
fail at creating a flow
then realign the whole
and kick into the starthole
and kick into the starthole
and kick into the starthole
to risk all is the end all and the beginning all
to risk all is the end all and the beginning all
02 Thunderbolt
stirring at waters edge
cold froth on my twig
my mind in whirls
wanders around desire
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i or have i too often now
craving miracles
craving miracles
no one imagines the lightshock i need
and i’ll never know
from whose hands deeply humble
dangerous gifts as such to mine come
may i, should i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
craving miracles
my romantic gene is dominant
and it hungers for union
universal intimacy
all embracing
may i, should i or have i too often
craved miracles
may i, can i or have i too often
craved miracles
craved
waves irregularly striking
wind stern in my face
thunderstorm come
scrape these barnacles off me!
may i, may i or should i too often
crave miracles
may i or should i or have i too often
all my bodyparts are one
as lightning hits my spine
sparkling
prime runs through me
revive my wish
inviolable
may i, can i or have i too often
craving miracles
may i, can i, should i or have i too often
craving miracles
03 Crystalline
underneath our feet
crystals grow like plants
listen how they grow
i’m blinded by the light
listen how they glow
in the core of the earth
listen how they grow
crystalline
internal nebula
rocks growing slomo
i conquer claustrophobia
and demand the light
we mimic the openness
of the ones we love
dovetail our generosity
equalize the flow
with our hearts
we chisel quartz
to reach love
crystalline
internal nebula
rocks growing slomo
i conquer claustrophobia
and demand the light
octogon polygon
pipes of an organ
sonic branches
murmuring drone
crystallizing galaxies
spread out like my fingers
crystalline
internal nebula
rocks growing slomo
i conquer claustrophobia
and demand the light
listen how they grow
listen how they glow
listen how they grow
listen how they glow
it’s the sparkle you become
when you conquer anxiety
04 Cosmogony/strong>
heaven
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me
make me wonder
and they say: back then our universe
was an empty sea -until a silver fox
and her cunning mate began to sing
a song that became the world we know
heaven
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me
make me wonder
and they say: back then our universe
was a coal-black egg -until the god inside
burst out and from its shattered shell
he made what became the world we know
heaven
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me
make me wonder
and they say: back then our universe
was an endless land -until our ancestors
woke up and before they went back to sleep
they carved it up into the world we know
heaven
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me
make me wonder
and they say: back then our universe
wasn’t even there -until a sudden bang
there was light -was sound -was matter
and it all became the world we know
heaven
heaven’s bodies
whirl around me
a dance eternal
05 Dark matter
06 Hollow
hollow
my ancestors have access
hollow
i’m falling down the abyss
hollow
looking for some answers
generations of mothers sailing in
somehow they all were shipfolks
hollow
the ground is opening up
swallows
me up
the trunk of dna
now come forth
all species
hollow
like a bead in necklace
thread me
upon this chain
I’m part of it
The everlasting necklace
The everlasting necklace
jewels after jewels after jewels after
jewels after jewels after jewels
i yearn to belong
let me belong
07 Virus
like a virus needs a body
as soft tissue feeds on blood
some day i’ll find you — one day i’m there
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
like a mushroom on a tree trunk
as the protein transmutates
i knock on your skin — and i am in
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
the perfect match — you and me
i adapt — contagious
you open up — say welcome
like a flame that seeks explosives
as gunpowder needs a war
i feast inside you — my host is you
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
the perfect match — you and i
you fail to resist
my crystalline charm — you do
like a virus — patient hunter
i’m waiting for you, i’m starving for you
ooo-ooo-ooo-oooh
my sweet adversary
my sweet adversary
my sweet adversary
08 Sacrifice
why cant you give her room?
respect her spatial needs
i feel you compress her
into a small space
with clairvoyance
she knew what you needed
and gave it to you
now her desires are repressed
arrows in the flesh
when she found your love
her nature bowed her head
she surrendered
she renounced the world for you
now she’s poisoned by demands
you cannot answer
why this sacrifice?
now she regrets the whole thing
a delayed reaction
when she left her craft voluntarily
for your nest for your love
did you understand?
Appreciate
build a bridge to her
initiate a touch
before its too late
say the words to her
that will make her shine
tell her that you love her
your generosity will show
in the volume of her glow
09 Mutual core
i shuffle around
the tectonic plates in my chest
you know i gave it all
try to match our continents
to change seasonal shift
to form a mutual core
as fast as your fingernail grows,
the atlantic ridge drifts
to counteract distance
you know i gave it all
can you hear the effort of the magnetic strife?
shuffling of columns
to form a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know i had it in me
withheld your love, an unspent capsule
i didnt know you had it in you
you hid the key to our continuity
i didnt know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn’t know, you didn’t know
what you resist persists, nuance makes heat
to counteract distance
i know you gave it all
offered me harmony if things were done your way
my eurasian plate subsumed
forming a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know i had it in me
withheld our love, an unspent capsule
i didnt know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know i had it in me
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didn’t know, you didn’t know
10 Solstice
when your eyes
pause on the ball
that hangs on the third branch from the star
you remember why it got dark and why it is
getting light again
the earth (like the heart) slopes in its seat
and like that it travels along an elliptical path
drawn in the darkness
unpolished pearl in sky-black palm of hand
flickering sun-flame
then you remember
that you are yourself are a light-bearer
receiving radiance from others
