"She asks her familiar -
Teixi, the blue spider -
to weave from gossamer
Gloves of the Osmoser…

Just like udders do milk,
these special gloves of silk
store magic in their tips,
cast by incanting lips…"

LYRICS:
Shut up and shut in, 
Dust puppy in dust bin, 
Presumed here only by provenance, 
No substance, no confidence, 
Drinking thick gloss waste matter by the eyeful, 
Taste battered, 
Tastes bitter, 
Tasted better glitter in reception era, 
My out of town company used to be nearer, 
Inspiration from frustration, my ear mouths do not litter, 
New needs new, spirit havoc from cabin fever, 
Here I fear a fear no clearer than the black I disappear in. 

A sick puppy grows 
Up to sick dog - knows 
The medicine goes in being 
More than I am until I am more than I am. 

I find some solace in the malice of those I meet, 
I find some solace under the yellow light of street, 
I don't mean to orbit danger like flies orbit meat, 
But the Earth is not my inheritance for I'm no longer of the meak, 
My only possessions of value are the words I think to speak, 
But I don't think before I speak, 
So my words are food I eat, 
Falling forward into fire, tight fists swirl the air higher, 
I wish upon a dead star that I'm the dealer not the buyer. 

What's this chill in the air? 

A sick puppy grows 
Up to sick dog - knows 
The medicine goes in being 
More than I am until I am more than I am.

Lyrics:
Yeah I said... 
Again... 
Still thinking of a synonym 

Yeah I know 
There's plenty of fish in the sea 
Yeah I know 
In all probability 
You're not the only one 
The only one for me 
Still I can't seem to shake 
This sense of urgency 

This conversation 
Is drying up 
What can I say 
To convince you that 
I'm enough 
To make you stay?

Tout au long d’un poème

À la morte fontaine

Moissonnent mes vingt ans"

'Les Apaches' was a group of French musicians, writers and artists which formed around 1900. They adopted the name which refers to the Native American Apache tribe, but had the additional meaning in French of 'hooligans'. The group, which included renowned composer Maurice Ravel, met every Sunday.

'Les Apaches' was also a Parisian criminal subculture of early 20th century hooligans, night muggers, street gangs and other criminals. After the news about their notoriety spread across Europe, the term was used to describe violent street crime in other countries as well; for example, the Russian apaches.

Samples: 
Ravel - Assez vif, Très rythmé (Quartet in F major)
Rififi (1955)

LYRICS: 
"Everything's spinning, all the time, dripping atoms into night - oh - everything's spinning all the time - everything's spinning."

"Sea - like the blackest night - reminds me of the first fight, when early beasts swam up to feel light beyond the ocean, but every claw and every tooth dragged them back to primordial soup, to the blind depths and dogged tests of the sickly potion"
