knights in white satin

conception of boy and girl, inspired by a true story. original poem by kati knox.

lyrics:


conception of girl and boy
unfurl the pearly white cast forth the net crack open the head open the palm then,

the basement is dirty the air is thick so thick we cannot breathe but stay learn how at last you roll around on the ground convulse pulse the guitar screams through the amp in perfect syncopation
(((how do you do it)))
o well too bad the baby is born anyway on the floor the girls scream the men gasp the children sing the wives marry the fathers scold the mothers feed the babies eat eat eat the beat they eat the beat you just stand there and begin to float in levitation the sound lifts you above the rest of us the smoke in the air keeps you there you are wearing your mother’s heart on your chest as a kind of medallion of hope I love it and begin to cry the tears create a flood in the basement until everyone is carried away by the flood except for you because you’ve stayed afloat and me because you’ve grabbed my hand and together we sit on the smoke watching the flood below us you continue to create noise so loud my ears begin to bleed but only one of them when I realize the other one is no longer there but I do not panic instead you begin to whisper inside where the ear used to be and I can hear for the first time what you are saying this madness is a gas we inhale until our bodies almost carry our minds away when all of a sudden we almost make it through the ceiling when all of a sudden a light leaks through the crack in the corner we are upset by this and close our eyes the flood still cleaning the basement floor you patch up the crack we return to the darkness and begin to laugh again this entire time you are holding my hand between them sits a very small elephant it is an old wind up toy and it keeps singing in such a high voice that it becomes an incessant ringing in the ear until it begins to weep so loud that the flood gets bigger and bigger and begins now to envelop us we let it happen because we can grow fins if we want to and we do we realize we can open our eyes under the water and we do heartbeat heartbeat heartbeat increases eyes grow bigger and bigger and
