Orphan Sound System. "Meet The System"

Omnia Sacra Et Miracula Sunt

The Perfect Storm

Vigilance Suite 373 April 5

Bucza

who had rights to remain
unmurdered came
in blurred voice robe
to my ears innermost
amid social silences
far too loud

photos of bodies, tethered

they try to smear the overcome
merger with the mud
and scattered machinic metal
wind ripping through distant
sheets in slivers

recluse
banditry
warrior
pancreas
blossom
midnight
penetralium

she had a phone,
a green bike,
ebony hair,
cobalt eyes, ancestral
horses would
stop and fondly
reverence her
when there were
horses,
those last
gentle souls
of the steppe

That Certain Slant Of Sunlight

This morning started off, unexpectedly, but naturally enough, with an inspiration and subsequently a series of pieces imbued with thoughts, memories and moods associated with the work of Pharoah Sanders. The impact cannot be readily explained in words. Other language instead. I wanted to call the album Pharoah's Throw, as if the cards came from him. And maybe that's the truth of the matter. In this one, especially. In the other 6, maybe some other spells mix in while the tahuid remains the same in spirit while turning in the ta'wil of personal access.
