Splintered Voice One Hand Piano
Text by Jeff Gburek, a re-working of 
The Way of All Cacti, from my album The Perfect Storm
https://jeffgburekprojects.bandcamp.com/track/the-way-of-all-cacti

My world never moved on from there
What should I dare become?
Ready drifter, astro-naught,
multi-hyphenate creative?
Beginning on the margin again
Beginner, constantly "un-"
Constantly blown by solar winds
My follicles untether
Rods skip cones, my focus
pan-galactic smithereens
What flakes of sound can write this SNOW?
in which now loses as "S"
and then an "O"
What next?

I've never advanced a single step
Equilibrium, homeostasis
Tight fit, clinging fabric of pulsar
Entropy, everything so near,
no city, no center.
Just a fan blowing a breeze
for no face. Just a poem
spoken for, broken from
a gathering of the nations of words!
Who-hoa. Heart-beat caldera
Glowing blind, thumped
in hunch-back gloom

Must mist sybilline whispers

The poem really starts to come to life
when it being read for the first time
as if it were being written in the mind of the reader
who does a double-take, trying to figure
where it all comes from, where it's going
where the poem is coming from
inside itself, siphoned outward

Vociferous shift

you thought you had an idea
that it was a certain way
and then you realized it all had changed

all the mystery that you thought
would pull you down has brought you higher
all the wonder of the other way
to show you to another place
another
another place

look in my eyes, see what you see
everything's different

you might approach it differently when you see different faces
you might approach it true as one
you might find something better than you thought you understood
you might find something different

曼殊沙華の歌（A song for red spider lilies）

曼殊沙華眞赤に咲き立つほそ徑を通りふりむけばそのまま又見ゆ
木下利玄（1886-1925）

Passing through a pathway full of bright red spider lilies. Looking back, I see that the red spider lilies are still in bloom.
Rigen Kinoshita (1886-1925)

曼殊沙華の歌

Eclectic Collective:

TexMex Shaman–@texmex-shaman–Stephen–guitar solos in first half, mix, and production
J.J. Terrell–@j-j-terrell–keys, including organ and electric piano
K2 and the Three [and the Four]--@k2andthe3, @k2-kara–Ken–drums and percussion
Llanpsych–@llanpsych–Tez–Guitar solo in the second half
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)–@josh-clary-1–bass guitar
Surfers like Us - Artur - songwriting, rhythm guitar

This is a song that I passed on to my friend Josh, as a gift. Josh added some bass, and, of course, had to get the rest of the Eclectic Collective involved, too. Ken came up with the energetic, driving beat, perfectly suited for the song. JJ added some really stunning, surfy organ and jamming electric piano. Tez added his signature inspired, powerful lead in the second part. Stephen added his dynamic guitar voice to the first half, and was kind, generous, patient, and talented enough to mix and produce the whole thing.
  We hope you enjoy our third installment of our surf rock series. Cowabunga!
