Tsar

a slow draw of a distance so infinite
a cough up of your plans, lone enlightenment
plume light, dust thin
a humming engine
I bring the dogs out,
let’s bring the dogs out
they juke
and whimper off to the garden
I’m left only with Benjamin
eye shine up the driveway, timelines foundered deep within our history
shake me to a place, you choke on jokes about the Serengeti
hit me like a relic, I’m reminded count the crossing high beams
thrust up through the stories, violence drips off us like dew
ephemeral
but where is she now,
stuck in a cloud?
eyes wide as moons,
under a room?
our strings forming the tendons they slouch upon, our bones in the sands of a microchip
gravel epiphanies
I want you to see me
as a brother, you'd never trust her too
eye shine up the driveway, light diffracts around the new June oak leaves
senses through the cellar, tsars around here don’t buy into the readings
hit me like a relic, a reminder of what you held dearly
pump blood economics
for first the time I can feel the century
I’m adrenaline soaking
you’re a politician's kid
I fall on to my knees
she comes out through a door
reveals herself and
as I weep into her hands
she’s a thousand miles tall
I crawled onto my feet to show your crowd I feel
I’m not afraid to step up to the ledge
hard
well I could barely leave the bed
for long
now I find a way out
so buddy, I'll love you more
buddy, we’ll need you more
eye shine in your darkness, sun beams streak across the living room floor
new light falls upon us, warm the sofa in the spots where we weren’t
hold me in the gold light, birds sing out the words when our voice is lost
new light falls upon us, watch you sleep,
breathe iridescent dust
love

hit a bottom like an anchor
Deep Challenger, opposite the face of God
stroked your hair, grunts “Mariana”
fluorescent halo, rings of flash, some flesh, you’re florid
I can barely bring myself to watch
the feed brings, I eat
it’s 46 percent uploaded and your life is halfway over and you know why
from the halls of the shipment center, to the rooms of your brother's sitter's eyes
"let’s see those eyes, let’s see that smile"
video this
think I could do to know what they know
the shoe execs smiling down on my history
they say he looks like spiro agnew
and sold our cities for a row of slot machines
you can barely bring yourself to watch
leave that up to me
it’s 98 percent downloaded, two degrees from the president’s child
all the data and analytics miss all of the panic in it
and you know why, you know why
panic drips
from your lips
grainy hands
around your hips
to the source
from your lips
share it more
share it with
video this

Wasting

you’ve got me feeling alright
so I won’t
untie all my everything
from your shoreline
now I really think we should be going
and get gone
but the suns in the west
hits our heads with such a force
lust concussed I see three, or four, of you
and I don’t know if all of you will fit in my turn of the century sedan
we can squeeze in halcyon ways
just to set sights for Belleplain
we could waste away the weekend
making noises without speaking there, well that’s how I’ll do you wrong
I could sink into the lock-in
watch the seasons change in climate controlled millimeters from irises
well you pull me out of my head
so I said
change it for Batsto Park
messed up my oligarchs
compounds in coniferous forests
for private sin
from Alphabet City to pricing out pineys
I don’t wanna go if you’re not right there behind me
I won’t waste away the weekend
just wading in a weakness manufactured to do you wrong
quit addiction to inaction
like a stream into a delta, fucking up feels just like coming home
we could waste away the weekend
making noises without speaking
on a night that like this I need you
it’s deserted in New Egypt

dry pine so dark
light guardrail sparks
I catch a glimpse
know you’re the one
I’ll pull a curtain for
you’ve got me in my head
singing I love you pretty thing
walk like I’m made of tin
feel a pulse rattle inside my skin
slip through a back entrance
into the subconscious
you fit right in
you dance with it
you’re the last one around
kowtow to a deeper house
that’s not no microdose
a cosmic comatose
your brother overdosed
so I turn my back when I drop in
you think you found truth
you better look again
you better look
I stare into the lake at a dancing moon
you’ll find the words to say when they come for you

Tangerine

grade school kids searching for satellite sites
drug routes sprawled through the tree line
now I sympathize
smoking j's
legal right to bear arms, I can't bear you tonight
alone on a starlit dance floor
and you're scared of heights
the whites of his eyes
reach up toward the sky
strawberry cream tangerine clementine sky
spires submerged in flood tides, a fact of life
a bargaining chip of the politics of monuments
I’m waking up high
clouding up continents because you’re all on my mind
in my head, in my monuments
won’t you let me be, want you off of it
don’t go
well I’ve been around hanging out with bad friends and I’m thinking of copping the style
you’ve been out hanging out with bad men but you make the world that you like

So
04:39
|

|
standing at your doorstep,
okay, I want some more of it
these bleeding leading lines
my memory’s gambit
you look like fact and fiction combined
one apparition
to lead me through the haze
of this burning century
stand
wait
I left my eyes where I first saw you in the flame
breathe in and out
sha la la la la
so stand
wait
I need you more than I ever wanted to say
go and shout you out
sha la la la la
hold me down
under the sea of my reverie supply chain
you watch me drown
sha la la la la

Ok Doc

got no time to explain
only thing I feel I need to know
is 40 years to the day
would you give it away, would you us away?
would you give us away? Would you give it away?
driving through Cranbury
you take the cherry vodka, you tear my sleeve
you know you’re not the only one
who could use some lightening up
just light me up
I’ll drink too much
chain links so tall
we could climb up
when you say my name
watch you stuff my sleeve
in your glowing palm, with the world at sleep
you’re freed, Andromeda.
they’ve got no reason to think
only see a shape
CCTV
night polices the face
no tenemos nombres
en la noche
and all the medical records
along with family pictures
between these worlds of connection
left lonely at the door
I swear I love you more
parabola amor
die for a metaphor
only thing I believe
only thing I feel I need to know
is 40 years to the day
would you give me away?
would you give me away

Alone
03:49

I walked away from
the engulfing flames
you stared, in state
for you know life
take names
no names
alone
we the people, free the fumatory
air out our shirts
through the cracked window
flags of hope, taut jokes
quiet lightning, like spiders
you traced my veins with fingers
through
all the way up to you
stay out of lanes
when the curtain falls magenta burns my face
in this place
our place
breaking my back to pry the plates
now you look
I’ll still sweat, you'd still wait for me
erase
consciousness calls to constantly
change
hovering they
watch our steps follow us around
we shed signals
our movement sleeps with singles now
let's check out

a tombstone for thousands
hangs over our heads
as we say goodnight to your friends on the east side
won’t you let me in
because hanging out I’m all yours
off to La Prairie
an ode to c'est la vie
you and me terrorized in
siren light
chew on my heels
because hanging out I’m all yours
assume some pseudonyms
infrared is in
watch you wink with beams under our brims
don’t change a thing
because hanging I’m all yours
stumble out the wrong floor
you grab my arm pull me back in
say "fates a construction of hearts breaking"
knowing we could waste a weekend
fall asleep to TV's talking tautological
call for champaign to shut your eyes
hanging out I’m all yours
your fates on the floor

7/10 | [rff] Funky listen. Received it for free, but it was a welcome surprise. The skeletal production makes it sound like it's recorded among broken-down cars in the boiling heat.
