Earthfeeder 09:13
Hello, I know I’ve seen your face before In dirt-dusted corridors beneath this teeming floor And oh, we dug down together, seeking for the surface Crime upon crime, piled behind our failing eyes. Feed me shale, earth and dirt, ‘Till my bones turn to rust. I know, I know what I’ve seen is not what I own The bastard worship of the siren’s sing-along And oh, the innocence dashed to pieces in our hands, Crime upon crime layered within my thick’ning skin. Drown me deeply, ‘till all memory Sweetly leaves my gutted bones.

The Sound 04:13
“Dig with me beneath the surface Where no gods or grace will follow Sing with me this simple swan song Slip beneath the sod and silt of…” Deathly pale glow as my eyes sink below Sweetly leave all of my memory above Drag the rotten carcass to the funerary sight Late but never shunned, and she is everything I own, oh - - Fornicated bride. “Dig with me beneath the surface” - But I still hear a sound through the walls Like a childhood memory Of my grandmother’s voice, Or living photosynthesis, Or an unborn memory Of a future lover’s sigh.
3.
I was born for love I’ve become a mole I dig my holes In patterns mimicking The paths of flying birds In hopes that one day My claws might find the surface And turn to songbird wings.

Backyard Dig 03:09
Buried toy cars, Broken rainbow colors - Mother earth received them With her smiling calm Unknowing mother Cautioned us to come inside, And willingly we entered, Blissful, ignorant That rain water carries What lies beneath sod And exposes it again. Again.

Dormant Seed 09:16
One day you’ll no longer Have the breath to run from pain The holes you’ve dug beneath The floors of your sordid home Will no longer hold the form Of you and your chosen ones And will instead become the bed Of the waiting canine beast Paralyzed but awake Your lips will mouth the name But no words will stay his teeth And your marriage bed will stain. And your - And your marriage - And your marriage bed will - And your marriage bed will stain. Only this way will you learn How seeds must befriend the earth To let their stems find the surface And turn to sapling leaves.

Renew 06:15
Bury me deeply, ‘till all memory Sweetly leaves my gutted bones.

Shovels 09:54
Shovel in hand God-like and bruised I’ve broken sod In foreign land. Weary eyes survey A sky that I can’t know Impossible blue That I can never convey. Symphonies soundless Bound in soundness I’m understood Through silence. Now all of your operas Come back to me A terrible cacophony Of truths impossible, of beauty - And your voice is a melody, A sweet sting of energy, Violence, strength and simplicity: “Leave your sleep and come to me.”
