A Black Hair Project Songbook

Song 1

Death of a futurist

We died my friend
The other day…
The future’s dying
Everyday…
Begged of mother
Put a scepter in our veins…
We gazed at stars
Vaginas were killed…
We lie, I die
Without befuddled aims…
Stealing love’s gowns
Wailing with clowns…
We tear our friends
We found in losses…
We say we love
We say we’ll die…
We name ourselves
Claiming heaven our own…
With other’s promise
Scaling blind for scores …
We’ve come undone, yes
The blessed in debt the young…

Gods shutting ears
With sales of fire…
We dreamt our life beyond the womb
Inside his leaky lair…
Ghostly trances being our wound
Never here together and cold...
Can’t claim bonds of the soul
We are all daughters...

Bulging Sudan shitting wells
Summer pays the gunman...
With gold teething heirs
Skeletons of fables badged in motley flags...

Applauding blood in stables of luck’s mutants
Is the next Day...

Did we ask our fathers
About god’s bleeding asshole…
About how it’s churning
Slave-beacons without souls…
Traverse these thorn planes
Soldiers exiting the game…
Asking of mothers
Does birth rub off the shame…

Song 2

Trudge on a concrete sea

Captain of the sun-ship
On the horizon’s blade,
Tears a cigarette from his ghost-lip….
Thunder’s renown for rain tearing the gory sea;
The storm nigh.

Lazarus wing-flaps his tongue in archangel tones;
Commands of caution carousing the chambers…
Over the vast pond in silent reflection…
Oarsmen returning from landscapes of insobriety,
As of last night…when the ship had burned a hole in its belly.

Every strength held
Marbled ligaments unclamping war when he imploded his heart…
Calling out to the sea’s pits,
Unto his son’s sleep, and
Other bait taken in impeccable chivalry.

The murky waves were writhing;
For they’d swallowed a sarcophagus of other heels…
Those that treaded the underworld.

This wreck…now a morgue of dreams, cramped other
Demon strata wailing at their innocence…
Glib-gab before saying goodbye to his tomb, and
The captain crucifies his deck with fire…
Snares with his rear eye unto the maw;
Paradise was that which he had left for vultures.

Gulls towering above - the stark band behind the sail
Awaiting patiently
The hour of death’s birth.
Lazarus cringing
A stallion and serpent at horns.

Light charring his veins – furious lightning
The panic of darkness;
The waves crashing…
The sea swallowing more wounds
As panic snaked in the eyes of those who survived.

Salts of muscle molten,
The wash of a rising water cliff;
Panic for the wounded and
Every breath wormed out of alarm.

No light,
Just odors of composure
On the ghost ship, the curtain of souls rent by the rough
And flirting with disaster…
Zadkiel’s drowned sarcophagus with deaf faces
Staring at scabs leeched on the captain’s forehead.

He was blinded by steel blood;
Tyranny his soul’s immaculate reward.
To his wife a ballad he hums –
The sun-ship drowning with wrecked skeletons…
In the corners of their eyes, the reaches of death’s fright.

This womb’s night never ceases –
The work of age calling his children to his fore-brow.

Faith was hanging on a tree –
He hummed, as shadows cleaved fangs into the corpses of his oarsmen.

Why watch this with sulphur in the yes?
Longer with wet breath writhing in inner currents of hatred –
A hatred for the self
Who loved so that loss would leave a swine’s lick
On his blizzard sores.

He recalls himself skinned out of his mother –
The seeds he threw into the ocean, and
The lure of death by water…
He assassinated his eyes on this platform of the sun-less…
A heap of rope laying sordid upon a block of wood.

His monsters cannot sleep,
Under solemn stars in travail when light was with others…
Descending through the tempest of his imagining.
Lazarus sends records through his pacing eyes –
To drowsy lovers and dwarfed hearts with scum as their ware.

The stern rising settling the pinnacle hold…
The sea not listening to the passing of a drone.

Death tempting the night,
Arms naughted in harm of seeking air.
Some fall of wills upon the stormy sea…
The web over a wreck, thundered as
A captain folds dying without a love of ends.

Electric storm whipping the illusive day over the clime of roars…
Tundra looming as no safe lands,
Just wild, calm confident of any approach.

Passing time of wretched laments
Bagged with light he fathomed tunneled –
A shaft of turbulence –
Fueled by soul-struggles that untangle themselves from the metal.

He whispers love’s final sigh unto an estranged life -
A leper messiah with bleeding claws at his ankles.
Friends drank to his death elsewhere,
He kept the hope…
Devil Company when stupor would be roused…
A magician’s ray leaving twinkles on shrubs of his cowered mind.

He sees light outside his bones
Further retreating from the speed of a sink…
Time waiting in the deep; many-tongued despair of
Sea-weed ghosts camouflaged in the shimmer of other shells…

What rosy fish in his sockets?

At worship posture rippling with beads of vapor…
He was held up in this abyss,
Paddled with forgotten trunks that dealt with the god of water
In the burrows of a tirade mystery.

Song 3

For Meek Love
(A song)

In our bedroom
Alone
With friends
Behind the fence of escape
I stand
Shred my skin to pull through the knot-hole
And forgive loving me.

I hang your sheets on my soul
All wired up
Shrunk to a needle’s eye
Blow a candle for a kiss
At the edge of a hurt when
Time’s deathly creep is burning my throat.

A heart eroding roses
Heavy glass
Married to a fossil life
Fastened to a pearl of lies
Substrate calls to ricochet with new demises
Un-allowed to defy false kids
A rough lover who
Wrecks lungs with mouth-wars.
