Rose of Sharon Lily of the Valley
the Narcissus
Plucked 1, 2 & 3
100 miles from the shore
80 from the bottom
Can you feel her sides shudder
A crowd with squinting eyes & quivering lips
the rare smile
She lurches & twists away from their feet
Surely you can see this thing is going
down.
Look to the moon
See Jupiter setting at the lip of the sea
no more

My House Is Vanishing

My House is Vanishing
On gray hills are perched
Decrepit ruins breaking down to dust
Fading into shadow
A dust-laden frail withered arm
Sifts through the wreckage
As I cough up bile
And try to leave it all behind
Going without leaving
Traveling without moving
Moving beyond a ruined body
My species is evolving
Waste lies abound
Feeds the soils of creation
Can’t you see?
We’re building anew
Decomposition and doubt
Make way for acts of bravery and creation
Sadness and distress
To hope and creation
I make my stand here
I make my dwelling here
Here where hope is failing
Here where my house is vanishing

The End Has Come

A near-endless ceiling of gray
Blocks out all but the entire horizon
Stand up, ye weary souls
And gaze upon those distant
Fissures of turquoise and red
Like archaic man once
Understood burying his dead
Like his fathers when
They first tore flesh with stone
Like his fathers as
They first stood upright and gazed
Upon those distant
Fissures of turquoise and red
See you the twilight?
Sing not of ruin
Sing of what lies beyond
My love, my blood, my brother
Sing on
And prepare for it
And take heart
For the end has come

Horse Graveyard New York, New York
Dark, raw, heavy, organic and eclectic.
Fifteen years ago we recorded this EP then scattered to the
winds.
This album is a lost chapter in our lives. It's been waiting all this time to be heard. Heartfelt thanks for giving it a listen.
