LYRICS
Inventory of fragments (overheard):
-- calculation -- decision making -- sound --
-- reorderer: -- you reordered my words --
-- my body’s order -- you reordered me --
-- trees -- dreams -- stars -- coffee grounds -- the flight of birds
and their own livers -- swooning – wonderment --
-- but what is a word? -- is it a cipher? --
-- or is it a symbol built with ciphers? --
-- your eyes returned from a despotic land
where no one knows the meaning of a glance --
Collected (for future decipherment)
-- redbreast -- weeping -- autumn light -- tenderness --
-- and what does it mean? -- and what is meaning? --
-- being a symbol is it bodily? --
-- (a body connotes; your body connotes) --
-- a myth, like all myths, constructed upon
a fiction meant to represent a truth --
-- a narrative to suggest a future --
-- your; eyes, voice, hands, lips -- our: silences, words --
-- light: in absence, as or if it returns --
Constructing symbols (to connect sounds):
-- what is a body? -- matter or symbol? --
-- colours -- forecastings -- logics -- taste -- distrust --
-- what is a symbol? -- to whom do we speak? --
-- for whom do we speak? -- for whom are we us? --
-- as beings with subjective potential --
-- impulses -- compulsion -- our pulse -- contempt --
-- distribution of electricity --
-- forces to be examined or ignored --
-- your eyes -- crashing jets -- stained glass -- rent -- prisons --
Cobbling grammars (threading symbols in rows):
-- suppression of crime -- war operations --
-- and what am i? -- symbol of myself? --
-- a surface for a projection of you? --
-- a conduit to decipher myself? --
-- are futures horizons of the present? –
-- are impulses constructions of language? --
-- is this why we don’t know what language is? --
-- those not asphyxiated by absence
of light circled crazily, like ants -- still –
