about

lyrics

“Synonyms in this monotonous land couldn’t describe,
but at least I tried, cried when completing a diatribe.
How apologetically sorry to pursue you the wrong way;
so curious, the best thoughts are hardest to convey.

Hit me like a brick, completely smashed the cranium,
filling gallimaufry with dasied geraniums.
Juice tomato-scarlet slid down hollows of my back:
weeds which quietly grow may startle just as heart attacks.

Didn’t realize you were rooted in those precious vessels:
a quarter rest, an eighth, a liter of my sacred devils.
Far too late to take precautionary blue measures,
no way to protect illusions I have learned now to treasure…

Eons, no decades ago, I saw you two together,
But now your bird has flown away and which lady shall replace her?
I can see in your eyes the one you prize is made of feathers;
She takes flight upon each eve and shows no sign of pleasure.

Didn’t realize you were rooted in those precious vessels:
a quarter rest, an eighth, a liter of my sacred devils.
Far too late to take precautionary blue measures,
no way to protect illusions I have learned now to treasure… "
