lyrics

A MELODY (STRANDS 1 - 3)

THIS IS…THIS IS WHAT? THIS IS WHAT IS DONE AND THIS IS WHAT’S TO COME TO DO…TO DO SOMETHING… TO DO SOMETHING OF USE IN THE RAG OF A MELODY TO USE TO USE THE AIR ANEW EACH BREATH IS A MELODY EACH BREATH A MELODY

THE SKY THE SHORE THE ROOF THE FLOOR THE BODY BETWEEN A WITNESS A FACT AN UNTRUTH AN ACT BUT WHAT’S IN A SONG? A SENTENCE A STOP THE SWING THE BOP THE HIP THE HOP BUT THESE STRANDS STRANDS OF IMAGE HANG AROUND STRANDS TRAPPED IN THE SOUND A SHOT OF WHERE YOU WERE IN SOME GELATINIAN BLUR YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU WERE

I KNIT STRANDS INTO A CAVITY THE ACTION IS INVOLUNTARY A PLUME OF SMOKE IN A SUNLIT ROOM OF LAUGHTER IN SUBURBAN GLOOM A STRAND OF LACE MADE TAUT THEN TIED THE SCENT OF ROOMS YOU OCCUPIED SENSELESS STRANDS OF TEXT OF MINDLESS SELF REFERENCE THIS MINDLESS SELF REFERENCE LESSNESSLESSNESS BODIES FUSE RELEASE UNKNOT AS BLOOD THROUGH VEIN DOES FLOW AND CLOT THE SPITTLE ON THE TIP STRANDS OF SEMEN ON HER LIPS NOW YOUR CANDOR WON’T CUT SHORT THE CEASELESS PISTONS OF YOUR THOUGHT COME IN TRACTS AND TRACKS INTRACTABLE STRANDS A SYNAPSE IN THE BRAIN RECALLS A LOVER'S NAME THE SIMPLE WAYS YOU WORE IT OUT THE SIMPLE WAY SHE WORE THE RAGS OF A MELODY HERE’S ONE FOR THE MEMORIES THE CADENCE OF YOUR BREATH THESE TINY LITTLE DEATHS EACH ONE A MELODY FOR NOW AND THE REVERIE BUT WHAT’S IN A SONG?
