Cantilever
spidercast
and webworm
a
glimmer of love
from another planet
i fall
as flowers do
into a
path of sleep
a pool of dream
a sudden heaven
see the flesh fly
see the flesh fall
(sudden heaven)
Angel of Sin
touch me
like you do
buried
alive
inside
my
pillow-lined prison
nocturnal
blessings
another
day done
Being Watched
moonlight
sleeps
new faces emerge
monochrome heart
life's
black & white machine
fire
moon flower
(sweet mother unguent
through the fog)
whispered
animal imagination
the rarest of birds
Communique #4
happy hopeful
alive
let go
lover (go)
blade is
a body
flutter storm within
what can you do?
(know where you stand)
starstruck harmonium
chant spinning out
love is
a patient
in the
land of doubt
nothing
to nowhere
(and the rest)
Back to Where We Came From
a remix
without
the
original being heard
a secondhand start
time taken in lieu
innocence and inexperience
becoming indivisible
slowly moving away
my view
of everything
inside
and out the window
(The Disappearance of Love)
Final Communique
inland
sea
dark sky and ancient stars
i try to
remember
splice meaning
from
electric silence
adieu
say goodbye to everyone
on the outside of heaven
