she takes the wand in her mealy hand
a power these children don't understand
tillicum
humans will do what they don't have to
in a system confused that will tell them to
tillicum
even I've done things that I know aren't right
kind that keep me awake at night
tillicum
system of work offers no reward
to the bottom feeder wielding his broken sword
tillicum
they created a killer and then their surprised
locked away in the cellar with the dragons at night
a picture of freedom
hero a slave
children complicit
broken promises laid
he didn't know how wrong until he heard the mother's cries
now it's too far gone to quell the storm and cut the tie
the panic and uncertainty that flashed in all their eye
ignite metallic tyranny - integrity capsized
just like all the rest
doing their utmost to follow hollow scripts
in Deference from their Wits

Stuck in a Ditch

I got stuck in a ditch when I was driving in the snow down lonesome miles of logging roads for the first time
There was nothing that moved about a million miles around except what burrowed underground and coyotes and the sunshine that streamed thru the trees as I shoveled myself out jubilantly
see my breath making blue puffs of steam
I was like an explorer, my ship locked in the ice.
I have seldom felt so all alone as when I thought that we were done,
outside Burrard Skytrain station I set my suitcase on the ground
the sidewalk was not empty but a great expanse of space pressed hard against me like a ship locked in the ice
The sea as deep, the winter just as cold
The snow as thick where it fell on either pole
Still the chill of an icy wind that blows
my heart a boat bound at the bottom of the world
I got stuck in the space between open sea and land, all that hazy indistinction before the ice freezes again
Am I alone now?
Am I? alone ?
am I alone now..

When you apologize you give up all your power
Do you really believe you're so wrong?
when you apologize, may'st exhale on the fire
Do you really believe you're so bad
it'd be understood
you'd express such doubt
Expect the world to just smooth it out
oO ah
When you perform at effort, won't make proof with the symptom
Yeah, there's shovelling and really moving dirt
When you perform at effort beyond all cataclysm
dust unsettling will not complete the work
You say you understand how I could fret and pace
get up and wring the hand, watch the hours slip away
naught but to stay the path as is revealed to me
Cut in a shining swath sun-gold across the sea
o0 ah
oO ah oo ahh o0ah

I watched you glow in the night
wind rushes ribbon of white
Slamming in syrup behind
o take me with you
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you where everyday we gotta stay outside
and your face glows purple in the firelight
I'll meet you there
I'll meet you where
red-orange flowers grow up in the grass
everyday is kind of like the next
I felt you grow in my mind
Shirtless on your mountain side
your naked hand touching mine
O take me with you
I'll meet you there i'LL meet you where
everyday we gotta stay outside and your face glows purple in the firelight
I'll meet you there, I'll meet you where
red orange flowers grow up in the grass
every day is kind of like the next
I am the great pretender
drifting alone thru time and space
Come back and take me with you
Smell of sage
Wind rushes ribbon of white
slamming in syrup behind
your naked hand touching mine
ping like a Crystal
ooooooooooooooooo
oooo o ooo o

ooooooooo

one thing that I never see-
myself looking out behind their pageantry
inimicable me
The yucky bee
Critical calvary
non-contextually conflict hangs between like a web of wifi
behind each I can't see
sliver of glass infinitesimally
Super girl, super girl in a softening world
halfway through it at last - all stuck on the future all stuck in the past
Accolades we amass are cat-piss defiance and self-righteousness
Take a pull from the glass
The body made stupid to rise to the task
Insipid moments that pass
supergirl - supergirl in a softening world
I followed behind
Eyes tracking a pattern of vertical lines
All wasted in wine
our hearts beating patterns of increment lines
Supergirl

Eagle feast

Screaming eagle swoop from the sky
Eat what you will
Descendant on high
Talons grip strong
Rip, string, tear
Reveal the sinew the nutrition buried there
Feast eagle feast
Feast eagle, eagle feast
How I long to see you swoop across the sky
May you dip a wing, offer a ride
Press my cheek up to your golden side
Like a moonbeam shooting across the night
Screaming eagle, eat what you will
Flex your talons and come in for the kill
Alive and bleeding
dismissed, scavenged or dead
Patrol the ceiling
Ensure the young are fed
Feast eagle feast
feast eagle, eagle feast

I hate myself, will it help to write it?
Will it loose the poison, help me fight it?
I hate myself - I'm co-dependent
I love myself !
I can't explain it.
I become lesser, not funny enough
Dried up and bitter - unloving enough
Too independent: and that gets rough !
I push too hard not hard enough -
Hey !
I hate myself ! I hoped you could love me!
What's not to love when no one wants me?
I push too hard not hard enough
I ask too much, not gentle enough
not caught up in my life enough... but at the same time.. a
Bit ! Too ! Much !
I made a plan
did not consult
Isolation's not what I want
I could get out of bed by 8 a.m,
I could roll over dead & hit the snooze again
I could get out of bed by 8 a.m,
I could roll over dead & hit the snooze again what
L-O-N-E-L-Y
that's the way I'm gonna live unlesss I raise my eye
C-H-A-N-G-E
Guess I'll sit around and wait until it comes for me
Dizzying lows devastating highs just remember the mountain
when you're caught in the mire
C-H-A-N-G-E
Guess I'll sit around and wait until it comes for me
I made a plan
did not consult
Isolation's not what I want

The Truth About Mupets
01:43

Yip !
I cut my teeth watching Sesame Street, every muppet stuck-it with a piece of meat// every meat connected to the beating heart - no discerning between mine or any other part
No means of accounting for the difference/ each puppet constructed from a similar bench / Fairy tale that promise I'm the chosen one/ try and get some gravity from where I'm from
pRESSED chicken cutlet battered in white bread
am I really living just cos I'm not dead?
All across the prairies like a candy floss/ christen clueless children and consume potluck// can't tell when we're carried, when we had to walk - Peace of mind in Predetermined Plots
Every xmas dinner pulling on the thread/ which pastor remembers what remembers when// Canasta crib gin rummy crowded in my head/ Am I REALLY LIVING JUST COS IM NOT DEAD
Pilgrim ! Are you still seeking ?
Pilgrim !! I hope you're eating Pressed chicken cutlet battered in white bread //Pressed chicken cutlet battered in white bread // pressed chicken cutlet battered in white bread ! / pRESSED CHICKEN cutlet battered in my head!

This time I'm different/ I answer their questions / From a pirate island // that grants its protection /
When they talk to me/ ask about me/ I hardly believe / the truths I'm telling // it's the ego / begs tomorrow // makes me slow / Down
Why explain when the clouds are going?
Lay in wait while our friends go swimming // Feel the beat of the music moving/ same place at the same time/
Fishing out the agate
Physically explain
Hold it in your hands you hold the sun the moon the stars the sky and rain
Eyes follow Orion/
Every country that I change
Do you know how much I love you ?
I stand at sea and mountainside under burned up trees, endless sky
My whole body becomes this wave I'm shooting into outer space
I won't say Away any more - why diminish a life like that?
Switchboard blinking in my brain that it just takes breath to operate
I love you !
This time I'm different // Outside and inside begin to match / Move out from behind the back // Temperature rise with movement/ Perception transmute the air / pin dropped on a single moment - Fingers weave plaits into their hair ///////
/// All those times we said I love you
Little drops of dopamine
Maybe better not to say it-
Let it out in pure living ... I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you - - - Hold hands and scream
///////// I'm you
//// I'm me // / / //// I'm they// I'm she
I'm /// / / / I 'm that - I'm god I'm cat. -///. /////. the clouds are
Going, that's my human brain

here now stop and think what you have done
hear his voice cry weak against the wind
hear it now again
know that each action reverberates
as does each reaction
each action that amputates
each from her reaction
ah
she sharpened her knives and went into the night
laid waste to the houses, cut out the eyes
made holes in the fabric that held up the sky
lay back on her back on the hillsides at night
with children and Angels to see how they shine
sang stories and songs to redefine the night
of all of the truths that had past been denied
captured in a culture resplendent with light
ah
hear now stop and sing what we have sung
hear our voices strong against some wind
hear us now again
know that each action reverberates
as does each inaction
each action that amputates each from her reaction
ah
You better believe it's scary
demons distort the message
as each story leaves her body
so they begin their passage
into other stories ascending truth
seeking each to each cleaving so to soothe
we're not coming for you
come to me
know that I'm not free UNTIL EVERYONE'S FREE
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
