Take my words, I will borrow yours
Between the substance of thought and the substrate of language
A voice was caught
That sings to me in my sleep
Reservation
This dreamed collective
Of a death ship and a death march
Sails across the proscenium arch
To touch that star
Reservation
On dry land
This savage savant was trained
I can reap and sow
I can drink and go crazy
Distilling image out of ether
Did I dream that we should meet?
Maybe
Take my words, I will borrow yours again
Distilling sound out of the ether
Did I dream that we should meet?
As the shore-lights of a harbour
And the search-lights of a fleet
Or as the night-lights of a plane
Your destination

Another planet in transit
A relative motion
Dynamo
Something made out of spinning glass
A coloured revolution
Something formed out of points of light
An orbital illusion
Familiar scientific formulae
Your placebo, your control
Stone me
Don't expect it to yield
Stone me
Don't expect it to heal
Stone me
Don't expect it to feel
Familiar
Where does it end?
The divergence of trends
How can you hope?
Gyroscope
When you are left out of the book
When your name is erased
When you are left out of the book
You are a heretic
And the devil is in the details
Something made out of spinning glass
A coloured revolution
Something made out of points of light
Heretical solution
Familiar…
Stone me…
The devil is in the detail…

'Few Words' is Better

If I made a film about life without you
It would only take minutes
If I made a film about life without you
I would crawl through my house
I would leave notes on my chairs
I would leave snow on the stairs
I would feel there
My eye is a camera
Swallowing light fields
Denoting absence
So take my photograph, take mine
Take my photograph, take mine

Lick horse, kick horse
He is tied in a field
He knows nothing
Of a swan on your shelf
Or a rose bowl in a suburban window
This killer apathy
Stretches over me and forms a carapace
A living shell
A vicious ring
I'm so vaguely sick of everything
Bloody foreland
Rhesus negative cove
Mindscapes of that pure blind
Indifference to mankind
Loaded as a weapon
Where in the system is a virus
Retro
I thought the perfect metaphor
Like a powerful magnet
Would hold open the doors
Municipal doors
Lick horse, kick horse
He is tied in a field
He knows nothing
Of this antibiotic
Aroma of death
Like sugar on your breath
