lyrics

standing in front of the mirror, a pallid face

the rain is soft and showers wipes
its muddy filth on the carpet
on the dank stage under the blank page

facing the snow escaped from the clouds
to be deflowered among the seeds of
the stem cell of unreality

I wake up. I forget my dreams

(condensation on frozen thermometers)

coagulation in the gaze burst skies
neck numb tuque buried
under the spider webs of our umbrellas

one is devoured
to discover that the answer is simple
we are a society tamed
by institutions of nonsense
shut up in our senses.

the climb toward perfection
leaves everyone behind, above all else.

the burst skies blind
our atheist spirituality that bellows
while humming hymns that
glorify the waste of beauty
during the economic crisis of the stock exchange of our ideas.

frog in the throat.
I swallowed it to clean the soot that sticks there when the fireplace of my guts burn.

air current
lucid lights
across a window sewn from scratch
in the mansion of my reason

it is the waking of wonder that lives in our blood

impassive,
the skies have been left to languish in their pools of eels,
drowned by diffuse, translucent, limpid, sterile tears
they have been burst. cruel eternity of blinded awakening,

the setting sun
is red green yellow blue
I tell myself I have to have eyes
to see, but I tell myself that
it is false and that I am still capable
of glimpsing it in my dreams or else when
I close the space between my eyelids and that finally
all that equals nothing except
that I can say that now I know what to talk about.
and all the little stars that hang in their niches in the sky
simultaneously disconnected from my temporary reality
virtually altered by random conditioning
and completely relative to the
television station in
which your reason
watches itself
while it worsens…

are very brilliant.
and very beautiful.

silence that whispers in my absence.
