"Sonnets / Unrealities XI"

"Sonnets / Unrealities XI"


It may not always be so
And I say that if your lips
Which I have loved
Should touch another's
And your dear strong fingers clutch his heart
As mine in time not far away

If on another's face your sweet hair lay
In such a silence as I know
Or such great writhing words as, uttering overmuch
Stand helplessly before the spirit at bay

If this should be, I say if this should be
You of my heart, send me a little word
That I may go unto her, and take her hands saying
Accept all happiness from me
Then shall I turn my face
And hear one bird sing terribly afar in the lost lands

"Stonemilker"

"Stonemilker"


A juxtapositioning fate
Find our mutual coordinate

Moments of clarity are so rare
I better document this
At last the view is fierce
All that matters is

Who is open chested
And who has coagulated
Who can share
And who has shut down the chances

Show me emotional respect
I have emotional needs
I wish to synchronize our feelings

What is it that I have
That makes me feel your pain
Like milking a stone
To get you to say it

Who is open
And who has shut up
And if one feels closed
How does one stay open

We have emotional need
I wish to synchronize our feelings
Show some emotional respect

"Submarine"


When will it be time do document, do it now!
This submarine behaviour, do it now!
When time?
To return
Do it now
Do it now
Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Shake us now
Do it now!
Do it now!

Shake us out of the heavy deep sleep
Do it now!
Do it now!

"Sun In My Mouth"

"Sun In My Mouth"


I will wade out
Till my thighs are steeped
In burning flowers
I will take the sun in my mouth
And leap into the ripe air
Alive with closed eyes
To dash against darkness

In the sleeping curves of my body
Shall enter fingers
Of smooth mastery
With chasteness of sea-girls
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
Will I complete the mystery
Of my flesh
My flesh

"Sweet Intuition"

"Sweet Intuition"


Close your eyes
Listen closely
All that you've learnt
Try to forget it

Fuck logic
Fuck logic
Bravo to instinct
And sweet intuition

[Icelandic]

What makes you tick?
Try to remember
All that you've learnt
Try to forget it

Believe in believing
Believe in instinct
And sweet intuition

[Icelandic]

And inside we're all still wet
Yearning and longing
Repeat after me

Fuck logic
Fuck logic
Bravo to instinct
And sweet intuition
Sweet intuition honey
Sweet intuition
Sweet
Sweet intuition honey
Sweet

[Icelandic]

"The Anchor Song"

"The Anchor Song"


i live by the ocean
and during the night
i dive into it
down to the bottom
underneath all currents
and drop my anchor

and this is where i'm staying

this is my home

"The Comet Song"

"The Comet Song"


With our fingers we make million holes
We run and we fall into pot holes
On a mission to savor the world, oh!
We peek at the sky through tree holes.

Comet! Oh, damn it!
The comet comes hurtling down
On a precious plot of earth.

Like the bugs in mother's flower bed
We walk on long legs over the sea bed
On our mission to save the world, oh!
We need milk and cakes and a warm bed.

Comet! Oh, damn it!
The comet comes hurtling down
On a precious plot of earth.

Grey leaves are too much
For any mother to handle
A father must pull
His black hat down over the eyes.

"The Modern Things"

"The Modern Things"


all the modern things
like cars and such
have always existed

they've just been waiting in a mountain
for the right moment

listening to the irritating noises
of dinosaurs and people
dabbling outside

all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting

to come out
and multiply
and take over

it's their turn now...

"There's More To Life Than This"

"There's More To Life Than This"


come on girl
let's sneak out of this party
it's getting boring
there's more to life than this
it's still early morning
we could go down to the harbour
and jump between the boats
and see the sun come up

we could nick a boat
and sneak off to this island
i could bring my little ghettoblaster
there's more to life than this
but we'd have to rush back
to the towns best baker
to get the first bread of the morning
there's more to life than this
