Anemones

go into the forest - sunlight soaks you like water - go down to the river - watch your desires flow like melodies - dissolve, dissolve - fade into the ferns and brambles - fade into stone - walk over the hills, fly into auburn air - go into the forest - sunlight soaks you like water - go down to the river - watch your desires flow like melodies - dissolve, dissolve – lay down now amongst the anemones, amongst the anemones, you are not yourself - you are a nightingale singing in old ruins - you are a lover lost to time – you pluck roses on the plains of Enna - your fingers glisten with jasmine water - dissolve, dissolve - go and smoke yer pipe by some kawartha marshland! - everything is unveiled, dissolve, dissolve - like melodies through the old forest

Your Blood on Snow

your blood is on the snow – scarlet ribbons – drowning deep, suffocating in a pale void – the streets are your home - broken teeth on concrete, deadness inside, soft numbing tranquilizers, wine, darkness, everlasting loneliness, gold dust, razor wire, closed, dark, locked away - thou art my angel, my only love - something is piercing in the dark, something is piercing in the dark – satanic pig orgies, and the moths and flames and dust - thou art my angel, my only love – something is piercing in the dark - and your blood is on the snow, your already dead inside – scarlet ribbons -  your blood is on the snow – scarlet ribbons, O yes! - it's like when I took mother mary and fucked her – its like when I pissed on your cross – your blood is on the snow, it is, you know - your scars laid out for the world to see - black ice, delirium tremen cacophony - insects, crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling on your skin - you had a dream last night, you were a beautiful lily on a summer pool – you woke up in the gutter - scared, ravaged, manic great moths, searing eyes, scratched out the ocean of blood, so much blood, on the snow, on the frost, on the snow, on the frost - thou art my angel, my only love – raped, shattered, scattered, torn, forgotten, - you are the misery inside of me, the emptiness, the serenity, thou art my angel but I'm dead to the world without thee – I'm dead to the world without you

Your Blood On Snow

She Comes in Rivers

the lakewater is so sharp and cold – like burning fire, ice, damp rain – tributaries under bright dusk – the three sisters, the mountains – the wapiti – the lakewater is so sharp and cold – piercing the empyrium – phantom floating in the air – you just wanna dash under midnight stars – they illumine everything – an evanescent tapestry – piercing the darkness on the snow – who is behind the conifers on that hill? - hecate's visage, intoxicated frost – yer in some stale room in jasper – you've been hitching around, seeking something – slept by the river athabasca river night before – wind's chill, echo – this winter cold ain't have so bad as last year – you try and drown it in ash, but it ain't happening – just this one last night, yer gonna watch and sink into a low groove – try to recall better days, the old better times -  but yer happy now, in this moment – it ain't so cold outside – yer flowing through the highways, coming to rest here and there – lavender fire spread on muskegs, dark orange at the edge of the lake – alder, the ice crisp, at the edge of the river – lost in pain in the shadows of the night – drowning phantom lake vistas, and all the frozen verdure at the edge of the highway – like starlit splendor, glassy vastness, northern woods – you come in rivers, tributaries, flowing through the highways-

She - Comes - In - Rivers-

Jasmine Circles

jasmine circles, yer heart's torn out anew- sunlight lingers in memory - (your black hair) - so long ago, so long ago - circles, circles, circles, so many circles, circles, circles - hazy - it's so quiet here, it's so quiet here -
you just want to smell her perfume - her black hair - it takes you away from all this - witch's bounty, to cure thee of love - thee away from thyself - disappear thee, into a waiting - a waiting warm womb - and you stare down, you stare down - content inside - your velvet touch - your crimson eyes - spiraling thro' an eternity of jasmine circles - spiraling thro' an eternity of jasmine circles - thro' dark space, thro' time, thro' life and death itself, into the aether - being with you was like going through a 5-year heroin withdrawal - your black hair hung over the sink - so long ago, so long ago – just wanted – (her black hair, her fragrant jasmine) - being with you was like going through a fucking heroin withdrawal! - its all gone...
