DIMLIT ROOMS
04:52
|

|
what comes to mind, an old known ghost
in great detail, impressions though
i picture them in dimlit rooms
with hardwood floors and quiet tunes
in deep repose sprinkled with lust
hours on end to tease and touch
...
these lofty persuasions
have caused me agitations
and i have lost my patience
to fantasize on occasion
...
i've had enough
...
i've dreamt of them relentlessly
in the future, past, and presently
i wish i could put them to bed
and end this nonsense but instead
i wish i could with them in bed
over over over again

REFLEX
03:20

what should we ask, feel free to hard pass
compare and contrast i like your ball cap
where is your life at, is it a backpack
or is it on track, how long are you back
what else should i ask, how is your sex life
oh wait but nevermind, that wasn't too kind
to ask for such an insight, how are we for time
ahead or behind, nostalgia minds
relive the rewind, i like how you're dressed
is this a reflex
...
this bar is quite sparse and also quiet
as it fills it grows out of the silence
as it packs our voices sound more like sirens
at last call we could talk but we're silent
...
how is your heartbeat, broken or complete
kept warm or empty, does it involve me
did you dissolve me, was i a cancer
please don't answer, i like your ball cap
where did you get that, now can we go back
to small talk and chit chat

GIVING UP AND IN
03:55
|
|||
|
trying to not give up on good fortune
but it is easier said than done
i can see myself, in them and others too
i keep putting myself into their shoes
i can see myself
...
giving up and giving in
trying to avoid everything and then
you light a fire that burns the bridge
so you can start again
...
i tried to not give up on hunter g
though i wasn't a vegan or veggie
the decor was nice
i keep putting myself into their shoes and think
what would i do, insurance or struggle through
...
i used to own a little sandwich shop
i wish i burned it down
but instead i stopped and simply shut it down

FALLING DOWN AND ONTO
10:02
|
|||
|
submission, i've found lately
i've quite enjoyed, whether you or me
it's extravagance, amongst our needs
and wants i have, do you also
want to devour the skin and soul
and the whole, while lips to lips
is it acceptable with you if i drink before we kiss
...
with dimlit lights and deserted clothes
on patterned sheets you strike a pose
and whisper, do you wanna dance
wrestling cheek to cheek
controlled and taut but wild at peaks
i want to collapse into you
i would hold you for the night, if you asked me to
or i could saunter out of sight, as i seem to do
...
we will see, where this lead
falling down
falling down and onto you
falling down around and all over with you
we will see, where this will lead to
...
what game is this, who's bound to break
sit tight look nice and act awake
and authenticate past lovers had
impersonate who came before
from cool whip licks to the music and decor
is your heart covered with coats of shellac
is it easier with me or do you want them back
could you purse your pretty lips
and skirt around the facts
...
feeling torn from limb to limb
slept and woke, now tip toe-ing
your fingers stiffen, as the hardwood creaks
and clutch me not to go, naked and naive
is it easier on you if i sigh before i leave

i've been through some things
that don't make a lick of sense
but what destroys my defence
is that i've done some things
that make me shake my head
...
thoughts of someone
with smokes, conversations and pop
and a touch of liquor floating on top
in case i kick it, pour a bit, more or a lot
and another and another don't stop, ya
...
i, i've been a fool for you and you and you and you
...
it's getting scary sitting still
i try and build myself up
but can only do so much
and not enough, trying to find a will and a way
...
thoughts of someone taking off their floral dress
from the tip of her toes to the touch and the taste of her neck
i am destroyed, i am a bit of a wreck
i am a bit of a wreck, ya

THE AHH'S & OOH'S
04:45
|
|||
|
a roll in the countryside
...
let us kiss our salty skin
the ahh's and ooh's we're whispering
let us both get dirty hands
then buckle up unbuckled pants
...
citronella wheat and sweat
the sun like wine ages as it sets
the shadows drape as the light resigns
legs and hips still intertwined
...
would you love me, if i was more lovely
would you care more, if i was more careful
lustful, tender, if the sex was better
would you tell me, all of your fantasies
the aah's and ooh's

the Lambta Da's regina, Saskatchewan
The music's expression is paradoxically less solar and extraverted than the character of the seasons would lead us to believe. More than strength or richness there is an intensity, a sensation replete with freshness and firmness, which is remarkable. This deep and confident presence that persists over time becomes the memory of the music, possibly for always. ... more
