lyrics

Steam comes off the graves tonight
Every wound feels bright and clean
Every long departed uncle
Every unremembered seed

Is crowding up towards the light
Strain their backs against the green
Hiding in explosive air
Reaching out from fevered dreams

Despite the warning screams of the seagulls
The laboured howling of the train
Nothing in the shadows but the shadows
Nothing in the sky behind the rain

I am long pig, this I know
Stretched out in the firepit, glowing
Rub me down with oil and thyme
Let me rest in what’s not mine

And I’ve become a hostile witness
To this vast and generous wave of death
A murmur of forgotten rivers
Trace the corners of my bed

I am long pig, this I know
Stretched out in the firepit, gleaming
Dripping into the fire below
Turning on the spit a-dreaming

Unknowable, untouchable
Happy to go down like this
Happy to just be a poison
In the belly of my faceless enemy

---

In my dream, the cop screamed “don't look", but I couldn't board the train without seeing the legless woman and the terrified helpers crowding around her.
I stepped out of the shower and collapsed on the floor
Heart pounding, head spinning, not even almost ready to die

Moongazing Hare Copenhagen, Denmark

I try to keep myself warm, calm, loved and out of harm's way. The music is desperately home made and mostly well-intentioned.
