Triple Double Double
02:18

Who’s that craven little scribe
chording from a hovel,
dancing on the face
of the spade of the shovel?
Squawking human while the
catbirds trill triple double double?
Truth might be a ring,
a singsong thing.
The good crow scolds the peregrine from below;
it knows the robin pinned under the toe.
Not a parry for every thrust;
sometimes thwart, sometimes shush;
sometimes the wish bone is the clavicle
of a pack animal.
Murder in the morning
to feed the young.
Strange tides amok in the
Great Unsung.
Truth might be a ring,
a singsong thing.
The I in the it in the bit
in the none.

Full Throttle

shunted to the next hold
calibration-camber, caster, toe
remember when we didn't know?
and sent smoke back up the manifold?
we got along in my opinion
we fit together like a rack and pinion
it's good to keep a little tension
on the fan belt, timing, suspension
i thought we'd have the world’s attention
thought there'd be a true ascension
but all i see is distance
all i see is land upon land
hand over hand
picking pebbles out of the oil pan
full throttle
satiates me, makes me whole
full throttle
tops up the stomach of my soul
full throttle
pluck a blanket from the cradle
full throttle
snapping static from the radials
you've already lapped me
lead foot, peregrine’s periphery
this 2.4 isn't feeling very snappy
is this parade really making us happy?
maybe this isn't luxury
the maintenance is totally beyond me
this is all just beyond my pedigree
full throttle
satiates me, makes me full
full throttle
tops up the stomach of my soul
full throttle
pluck a blanket from the cradle
full throttle
snapping static from the radials

Human Love

Once a year
The earth spirits rise from the mud
And lay together with their human love
And lay together with their human love
Blood rise
Blood rise
Once upon a time
Flood water fills my bed
Flood water fills my mind
Blood rise
Blood rise
Human Love
Human Love
Your eyes
Like two flooded moons
Two flooded moons of stone
You moan
Blood rise
Blood rise
Human Love
Human Love
Human Love
Human Love

Hearing this was like discovering Desire, or London Calling for the first time. Derivative yet original, the songs are immediate and the melodies will get stuck in your ear for days.
